Best Moments From Yesterday
Blue Jays Finish a Sweep
Catcher Danny Jansen helped the Jays take care of business against Atlanta on Sunday. The Jays entered the bottom of the ninth down 5-4. Their offense was able to load the bases, and with 2 outs Danny Jansen took care of the rest with a walk-off single. The Jays will hope to continue their hot streak, as division rivals Yankees come to town.
