TORONTO — Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and the Toronto Blue Jays are going to the playoffs for the second straight year. Toronto lost 7-5 to Taylor Walls and the Tampa Bay Rays in 10 innings, but the Blue Jays clinched an AL wild card when Seattle lost 6-1 to Texas. The Blue Jays were swept by the Mariners in the wild-card round last year. They also earned a wild card in 2020 and were swept in that postseason appearance as well, losing to the Rays. The 89-72 Blue Jays are still awaiting their postseason position this year. They are tied with Houston in the wild-card standings after the Astros completed a 1-0 victory over the Diamondbacks.
