"There is no solace in the fact that the Blue Jays weren't supposed to be this close to begin with. Barely given a chance to make the playoffs, the team put together one of the most improbable runs in the regular season to claim their first AL East division title in a decade. Their run in the postseason was just as remarkable, beating the Yankees in Yankee Stadium in the ALDS. Winning Game 7 at home against the Mariners in the ALCS."
"And in the seventh game of the World Series they were two outs away from winning it all. Two outs that could haunt a franchise for a long long time. The Blue Jays felt like they were in control for most of the game. They jumped out to an early lead thanks to Bo Bichette's three-run home run in the bottom of the third. But the Dodgers, the defending and now still reigning World Series champions, kept chipping away."
Toronto Blue Jays reached Game 7 of the World Series but lost 5-4 in 11 innings to the Los Angeles Dodgers. The team captured its first AL East title in a decade after an improbable regular season and then beat the Yankees in the ALDS and won a Game 7 at home in the ALCS. Toronto led early after Bo Bichette's three-run homer and held a late two-run advantage. The Dodgers rallied with Max Muncy's solo shot and Miguel Rojas' game-tying ninth-inning home run off closer Jeff Hoffman. The Blue Jays were two outs from a championship before the extra-inning defeat ended their magical run.
