It looked like the perfect season had come to an end. Cavan Biggio had a big Grand Slam but then Kirby Yates did the nearly unthinkable and blew a save in the 9th. When all seemed lost, Randal Grichuk, who came into the game without a hit this season, smacked a two run homer to give the Jays a walk-off, 9-8 win over the Angels!

Almost obviously, the Blue Jays are #1 on the Weekly Power Rankings!

Also, Cavan Biggio was named the AL Player of the Week! He hit .440 this week with three homers and 11 RBI.

Shogo Akiyama of the Reds won for the NL.

As the Jays tried to maintain their perfect season, the Yankees came to town, riding a six game winning streak of their own.

Hyun-jin Ryu showed why he is Toronto's Ace, though, and led the Jays to a 5-4 victory!

Marcus Semien homered for the 3rd time this year.

It couldn't last forever. The Blue Jays no longer have a perfect season as the Yankees dropped them, 7-2.

It was Danny Salazar's return to the mound after his problems with blisters, and he once again left the game early. It is unclear if it was the same issue this time.

Tyler Chatwood struck out six in a row.

WP - Gerrit Cole (1-0)
Save - Chad Green (1)

Vladimir Guerrero went 3 for 5 and drove in 3 but it was Danny Jansen's 11th inning triple that gave the Jays a 7-4 win over the Red Sox.

On the triple, however, Jansen strained his hamstring and it looks like IL time is looming. Nate Pearson left the game with back stiffness but he is not expected to miss his next start.

Bo Bichette homered for Toronto.
