The Toronto Blue Jays season is over.

The season came down to the final game, game #162; the Jays did their part finishing a weekend sweep against Baltimore, but they needed a Yankees or Red Sox loss to move on. The Yankees scored in the 9th to win their game, and Boston rallied to come back against Washington to squash Toronto’s hopes.

The MLB Playoffs begin tomorrow.

Boston is in.
