The True Post (Web News) The Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Kansas City Royals 5-8 to secure their spot in the playoffs for the 2025 baseball season.
This will be the Blue Jays’ first postseason appearance since 2023. They were previously defeated by the Minnesota Twins in the Wild Card Round in 2023. Toronto achieved its goal with the victory in this contest, although the team could also have benefited from the defeats of the Detroit Tigers, Boston Red Sox and Cleveland Guardians for the playoffs. But the Blue Jays themselves achieved the decisive victory with a brilliant performance on the field.
The Blue Jays currently have the best record in the American League (90-66). However, they hold a two-game lead over the New York Yankees in the American League East. Maintaining this lead will be very important for the team because if they win the division crown and first or second place in the American League, the Blue Jays will be exempt from playing the wild card round and will also have home field advantage in the division series. Experts say that if the Blue Jays maintain their current form, they have the best chance of not only winning the division crown but also reaching the World Series.
