Blue Jays continue playoff push against Yankees

The Toronto Blue Jays will try to move closer to clinching a playoff spot when they play the visiting New York Yankees on Tuesday night in the opener of a three-game series. The Blue Jays (87-69) are coming off a 4-2 road trip that included two wins in three games against the Yankees, which helped them enter the final week of the regular season holding the second American League wild card. The Yankees (79-77) were eliminated from playoff contention on Sunday.
