"The Toronto Blue Jays have finally clinched a berth in the 2025 playoffs, something that they basically tried to do all week. Overall they went 3-4, marking their first sub .500 week since July 28-August 2, when they went 2-5 against Baltimore and, ironically, Kansas City - a team they played again this week with a similar result. The job isn't over, the Blue Jays still need to lock down the AL East"
"They guaranteed themselves that with a win on Sunday over the Royals, a team they were just 1-4 against in 2025 going into that series finale. The Blue Jays had chances to clinch a playoff spot on both Friday and Saturday, but on both of those days they also required some help from other teams losing. The Blue Jays couldn't get the job done on either of those days, but when it came down to it on Sunday they just needed to win."
The Blue Jays clinched a 2025 playoff berth with a Sunday win over the Royals, securing their spot after 162 games. The club went 3-4 this week, marking their first sub-.500 week since late July. The team remains focused on locking down the AL East and pursuing a first-round bye. The clinching victory was an 8-5 game in which the Blue Jays combined hits, patient at-bats, and defensive and pitching plays to fend off the Royals and avoid a sweep. Offensively, the team scored only 13 runs across 63 innings, with scoring limited in most games.
