Overview

• Toronto clinched the ALDS with a 5-2 Game 4 win in the Bronx, using eight relievers who limited the Yankees to two runs as Jeff Hoffman recorded a four-out save.
• Nathan Lukes delivered a two-run single and rookie Addison Barger logged three hits, capping a series in which Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and a deep lineup repeatedly capitalized with runners in scoring position.
• The Blue Jays outscored New York 34-19 and piled up 50 hits across four games; they will host the Mariners or Tigers in the ALCS starting Sunday.
• Yankees captain Aaron Judge called the season a failure despite his torrid postseason, while Alex Rodriguez blasted the club’s roster construction and the bullpen’s flaws that included a 4.37 regular-season ERA (23rd in MLB).
• Elsewhere, Kyle Schwarber powered the Phillies to an 8-2 NLDS Game 3 win over the Dodgers with two homers, and Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Roki Sasaki is the primary ninth-inning option subject to workload limits.
