The Toronto Blue Jays delivered their second sweep of the season according to Dan Schulman of Rogers Sportsnet on Thursday. The Blue Jays won all three games against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park. With the series sweep, the Blue Jays improve to a record of 37 wins and 38 losses.
Despite being one game game below the .500 mark, the Blue Jays are in playoff contention in the mediocre American League. They are in a playoff spot and hold down the final wildcard position. Toronto has the same record as the Athletics, but get the sixth spot because they swept the Athletics at the beginning of the season for their only other sweep in 2026.
