Back-to-back losses to end the regular season didn't diminish the revelry for the Toronto Blue Jays in squeezing into the 2023 post-season.
The Blue Jays clinched an American League wild-card spot late Saturday night and then finished the regular season with a 12-8 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday.
"We've had a lot of ups and downs," Toronto manager John Schneider said, addressing his players amid the post-game celebrations in the clubhouse. "But we're exactly where we should be.After all the possible wild-card matchups on Sunday, the Blue Jays finished in the third wild-card spot. On Tuesday, they will face the Minnesota Twins in a best-of-three series beginning in Minneapolis. The Rays will face the Texas Rangers .
"That's OK. That's how it is. But you know, now playoffs start. It's a clean slate. We control our own destiny. It's up to us, and we wouldn't want it any other way." In the regular-season finale, both teams started triple-A call-ups in Wes Parsons for Toronto and Jacob Lopez for the visitors. As a result, the game turned into a slugfest, with Tampa pounding out 16 hits, three more than the Blue Jays.
Manuel Margot hit a solo blast off Parsons in the fourth inning, and Junior Caminero greeted reliever Tim Mayza with a solo shot in the fifth.
