The Toronto Blue Jays sit in a first-place tie atop the AL East with the New York Yankees. Barely a month ago, the Jays were eight games back. The Rays were seven back; now they're only half a game out.

The Toronto Blue Jays wasted an eight-run lead, then outlasted the Yankees 11-9 as George Springer scored the go-ahead run on Devin Williams’ eighth-inning wild pitch to tie New York for the AL East lead.

The Toronto Blue Jays will look to complete a four-game sweep of the New York Yankees on Thursday night at Rogers Centre — and sole possession of the AL East lead is at stake.
