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.

2 d. ago Who decides if Rogers Centre roof opens for Toronto Blue Jays playoff games?

When the Toronto Blue Jays take to the field this Saturday for their first game of the playoffs, you can bet that it'll be quite the pop coming from the local crowd.It's been three years since the last time Toronto hosted a playoff game, and fans are eagerly anticipating how the American League East champions might fare this fall.But one of the biggest questions on everyone's minds is: will the game be played indoors or outdoors?The seven-day forecast from the Weather Network shows temperatures as high as 24°C on Saturday afternoon, which would conceivably be warm enough for an open roof for Toronto's first playoff game.But at the Rogers Centre, indoor playoff games have been the standard since its opening as the SkyDome way back in 1989. And while a fair-weather outdoor baseball game is one of the best ways to watch any sport, it's not usually the case come October in Toronto.The Jays have hosted just five outdoor playoff home games in their history: four in...

The biggest series of the Toronto Blue Jays' season is set to get underway in a short time versus the Tampa Bay Rays.The Blue Jays were able to pick up a massive 6-1 win over the Boston Red Sox on Thursday night, keeping them in the top spot of the AL East Division. That said, the New York Yankees also picked up a victory over the Chicago White Sox, meaning the Jays have zero margin for error.Fans from all across the country will want to tune in to Friday's game, though they won't find it on their usual channel.
