No the Toronto Blue Jays beat the New York Yankees 5-2 in Game 4 of the AL Division Series, clinching the series and eliminating the Yankees.
With that win, the Blue Jays advance to the American League Championship Series (ALCS) — their first ALCS appearance since 2016
Game Recap & What Went Down
- The Blue Jays leaned heavily on bullpen strength. They used eight pitchers, and Jeff Hoffman closed it out with a four-out save.
- Manager John Schneider made seven pitching changes, showing how much faith he has in his relief corps.
- Offensively, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was a standout: he batted .529, hammered 3 home runs, and drove in 9 RBIs in the series.
- The Yankees’ pitching faltered over the series, posting an 8.47 ERA in the postseason matchups
What This Means for the Yankees
- Their 2025 season ends here. The loss in Game 4 means they cannot continue deeper into October.
- Aaron Judge had strong individual moments, but not enough to carry the team.
- The bullpen inconsistencies and inability to contain Toronto’s offense over multiple games were key deficiencies.
- For the Blue Jays, this marks a breakthrough: they’ll now compete in the ALCS, and they’ll carry the confidence of eliminating a powerhouse.
