TORONTO – Toronto fans erupted in jubilation Wednesday night after watching the Blue Jays advance to the American League Championship Series for the first time since 2016. The Blue Jays defeated the New York Yankees 5-2 at Yankee Stadium in Game 4 to clinch the best-of-five AL Division Series victory. With the Jays holding just a 2-1 lead in the seventh inning, Nathan Lukes hit a two-run single to break the game open before Myles Straw batted in Toronto’s final run in the eighth. Fans filled the streets downtown, and many Toronto Maple Leafs fans also made their way to the nearest sports bar they could find to watch the Blue Jays close out the win. -------------------------------------------------------- Credit: Sportsnet (https://www.sportsnet.ca/mlb/article/blue-jays-beat-yankees-in-game-4-to-advance-to-alcs/), and Global News (https://globalnews.ca/news/11471019/blue-jays-fans-celebrate-as-team-advances-to-alcs/)
