If there's any solace in Tuesday night's Game 3 collapse, the Toronto Blue Jays will still have more home games these playoffs.Either they'll be back at Rogers Centre Friday night for a tense winner-take-all Game 5 in the American League Division Series against the New York Yankees, or they'll be the higher-ranked team heading into the American League Championship Series starting this weekend.And with the latter very much a real possibility as the Jays are just one game away, the team announced on Wednesday that their ticket sales will start soon.As of Thursday at 10 a.m. EDT, ALCS tickets will be available for purchase through the team's official website.Friday's potential Game 5 is sold out, though tickets are still available via the resale market on both Ticketmaster and third-party sites like SeatGeek and StubHub.

4 d. ago When will Toronto Blue Jays rookie phenom Trey Yesavage pitch next?

The Toronto Blue Jays found their newest postseason legend on Sunday.Rising up through the minor leagues at a rapid rate, the Jays' 2024 first-round draft pick, Trey Yesavage, has been one of the biggest stories of the entire postseason.Pitching 5.1 no-hit innings and earning a franchise-record 11 strikeouts in a postseason game, Yesavage put up a performance few Blue Jays fans would ever forget.But as much fun as his Game 2 performance in a win over the New York Yankees was for Blue Jays fans, it's hopefully one that the youngster will be able to build off of. After all, you don't win a World Series with just one good performance, but ideally a few strung together over the course of several playoff rounds.And in a sport where it's as much about your next game as the last one, fans are already wondering when they'll get to see their new star again.When can Yesavage pitch next for the Blue Jays?Although his first playoff game was historic, Yesavage has actual...

4 d. ago MLB legend David Ortiz eviscerates Yankees after Toronto Blue Jays slugfest

David Ortiz might not exactly be the biggest fan of the Toronto Blue Jays, but there's no doubt who he's cheering for in the American League Wild Card Series.Ortiz, a 10-time All-Star during his 14 seasons with the Boston Red Sox, seemed to be taking quite the pleasure in seeing the Blue Jays demolish the New York Yankees during their first two playoff games.While Toronto still needs to win one more game to advance to the American League Championship Series, they've certainly looked the part in their first two games. Scoring 23 runs over two days, Ortiz was in full-on trolling mode over his hated Yankees rivals."They can bring Jesus back, and they're still going to go to Cancun," Ortiz said on Fox's postgame show. "It's over. It's a wrap, just so you know. This Toronto Blue Jays lineup ain't playing around."Ortiz got the ability to chirp a few old rivals in Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez, both of whom were two of the biggest faces ...

4 d. ago Here's why the Toronto Blue Jays pulled Trey Yesavage in historic Yankees beatdown

Even in perhaps the best two-game stretch of his entire run as Toronto Blue Jays manager, John Schneider knows that he's not always going to be the most popular guy in town.On Sunday, Schneider's Blue Jays pulled off a game anyone in attendance will probably never forget.While Toronto scored 13 runs on the day to take a 2-0 series lead over the New York Yankees, the biggest star of the game was starting pitcher Trey Yesavage, who put on one of the best performances anyone's ever had wearing a Jays uniform.In just 5.1 innings of work (and only his fourth-ever MLB start), the 22-year-old rookie made Jays postseason history with a franchise-record 11 strikeouts on the day, giving up no hits and just one walk.But he actually could've probably had a better performance, had he not been pulled after just 78 pitches. More than half-way to what would've been the first no-hitter in Blue Jays playoff history, Schneider decided he'd rather play the percentages and let Ye...

5 d. ago Guerrero shows love to Toronto Blue Jays fans after Yankee playoff beatdown

The Toronto Blue Jays hadn't won a playoff game since 2016. That changed in emphatic fashion on Saturday at Rogers Centre.Toronto jumped out to an early 2-0 lead over the New York Yankees thanks to home runs from Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Alejandro Kirk. They ended the contest with a commanding 10-1 win.There was a bit of drama for the Jays in the sixth inning, as New York loaded the bases with Aaron Judge at the plate when the score was 2-1. However, Kevin Gausman struck him out, and the Jays escaped the inning, only allowing one run.Blue Jays batters took over in the seventh and eighth innings, pounding in eight more runs en route to the victory.This win was a long time coming for this Blue Jays core, and specifically, Guerrero."Every time we come here, we do it for the fans," Guerrero told Sportsnet's Hazel Mae after the game."My first homer here at home, that feels amazing."The Montreal-born slugger got the party started during his first at-bat, smash...
