"Ernie Clement scored twice and drove in two runs while rookie starter Trey Yesavage threw five shutout innings as the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the visiting Tampa Bay Rays 5-1 on Saturday afternoon. Alejandro Kirk added a solo homer as the Blue Jays trimmed their magic number to win the American League East Division title to one. A Toronto victory over the Rays in Sunday's regular-season finale or a New York loss to Baltimore would give the Blue Jays their first East crown since 2015."
"Yesavage (1-0), who struck out five and walked two, survived a bases-loaded jam in the third inning by fanning Jonathan Aranda. He allowed five hits in his first career start at Rogers Centre and third big-league start overall. Aranda hit a solo homer off reliever Yariel Rodriguez in the sixth. The Blue Jays have won three games in a row and 11 of their last 18."
