New York Yankees at Toronto Blue Jays

Things are getting awfully interesting north of the border. The Blue Jays, who spent much of this season growing stale on the outer edges of the postseason picture, suddenly have as much momentum as any team in the American League Wild Card race. Friday night’s 3-1 win over the Yankees puts Toronto (60-64) just one game back of the final postseason spot with 38 games remaining. This is what mattered most: **1\. Holding their breath: Guerrero injured** Vladimir Guerrero Jr. left the game soon after scoring the Blue Jays’ first run in the sixth, a messy play during which he collided with George Lombard Jr. at third base before scoring on the error. Even with a .693 OPS next to his name, Guerrero is still the player the Blue Jays can least afford to lose because of the upside he still represents. We’re also just three days away from the one-year anniversary of the last time Guerrero hit a regular-season home run at Rogers Centre. Everyone has a theory, because of course they do. The Blue Jays are stuck on the doorstep of the AL Wild Card race, but if Guerrero were playing anything like he’s capable of, they’d already be sitting comfortably in one of those spots. What else do you expect people to talk about? “People are always trying to have the right answer,” manager John Schneider said. “All of the things that are out there, some of them are probably close to being right and some of them probably aren’t. There are a lot of theories out there. I think the person who knows his swing the best is Vlad.” **2\. Madness on the bases!** The Blue Jays have made a habit of staring their opponents down this week and not blinking first. The Red Sox made a handful of crucial errors that flipped games in that four-game series, and Friday night, it was the Yankees’ turn. If the Blue Jays’ offense is going to leave them stuck in low-scoring games, this is the type of airtight baseball they need to be playing. What looked like an inning-ending double play off the bat of George Springer quickly went wild when the throw to first skipped in front of Luis García Jr., who couldn’t make the scoop. That sent Guerrero racing from second to third -- the play during which he was injured -- and eventually scampering home. Some better bounces have been finding the Blue Jays lately, but this one came with the sting of losing Guerrero. “You don’t really see a fielder throw the ball across the field with no glove on,” Schneider said. “It’s an uncomfortable feeling.
