As the Toronto Blue Jays filed out of their clubhouse and into the night, the champagne-drenched New York Yankees returned to the Rogers Centre field to mug for a celebratory photo near the pitcher's mound on Tuesday.
About a half-hour earlier, the Yankees claimed their 20th American League East title by defeating the Blue Jays 5-2.
Yankees starter Jameson Taillon was brilliant. After George Springer smacked a solo shot to straightaway centre for his 52nd career leadoff homer on the second pitch, Taillon settled down. "Vladdy flat-out has to run faster," interim Blue Jays manager John Schneider said. "That's inexcusable. I'll tell him that.Taillon's 94-pitch outing saw him depart with one out in the eighth inning. He gave up two runs on seven hits with six strikeouts and no free passes.
The Yankees' offence picked up in the third inning. Catcher Kyle Higashioka, who also belted out three hits, began the two-run splurge with a single and advanced to second after Judge walked.
