While the Orioles are trying to catch a wild-card spot in a last desperate attempt, the Blue Jays are one game in front of the Seattle Mariners (80-63) and 1 1/2 games up on the Rays
Blue Jays interim manager John Schneider said that he is not concerned about the strength of schedule that each contender has down the stretch. The Mariners appear to be facing the easiest slate among the wild-card contenders.
“If you’re going to be where you want to be, you have to beat good teams eventually, whether it’s in September or October,” Schneider said. “The schedule has been out for a long time, so we know what’s coming. And I think it’s good to keep the intensity, the adrenaline, kind of that feeling that every game is important.”
Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. went 1-or-4 Friday to extend his hitting streak to 10 games in which he has gone 13-for-44 with four doubles, a homer and three RBIs. Toronto shortstop Bo Bichette, who finished 1-for-4 on Friday, has reached base safely in all 16 games this month, batting .471 with nine doubles, a triple, seven homers and 22 RBIs.
Chapman socked his 25th and 26th home runs of the season on Friday, his first since Aug. 20, ending a season-worst, 25-game homer drought.
