""I think everyone's very locked in the way they need to be right now," Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. "Hopefully we can keep this going.""
""I'll take the bye all day long," Boone said. "It's winning a series, essentially, without having to play one.""
""It's one of those things where you either can crumble and fall and not play well, or we can be us and know that throughout the season, we've played really good baseball, and just keep trusting it.""
Yankees and Blue Jays are tied for first in the AL East at 91-68 with three regular-season games remaining. New York hosts Baltimore while Toronto hosts Tampa Bay, and the weekend series will determine the division champion. Both clubs have clinched playoff berths; the division winner receives a first-round bye and will start the Division Series at home, while the other club will host a best-of-three Wild Card Series. New York holds the season head-to-head tiebreaker 8-5, so Toronto must lose at least once for the Yankees to finish ahead. Toronto received a key grand slam from Daulton Varsho; Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and George Springer have been central to Toronto's offense.
