Toronto was alive with celebration Wednesday night as the Blue Jays clinched their first American League Championship Series berth in nearly a decade, defeating the New York Yankees 5–2 at Yankee Stadium. The win sealed a 3–1 ALDS victory, marking the first-ever postseason clash between these AL East rivals.

Key moments came late in the game — Nathan Lukes’ clutch two-run single in the seventh gave Toronto breathing room, and Myles Straw added insurance in the eighth. Fans poured into downtown streets, with Scotiabank Arena even broadcasting the final innings after the Maple Leafs’ 5–2 win over Montreal, uniting Toronto’s sports faithful in one massive citywide celebration.

Prime Minister Mark Carney joined in the excitement, congratulating the Jays for “making us proud.” The team now awaits the winner of the Detroit-Seattle series, with Game 1 of the ALCS set for Sunday in Toronto.

From the bars around Scotiabank Arena to fans chanting “Go Jays” across the city, Toronto is buzzing again — hopeful that this postseason run might finally end with a return to the World Series.
