The Toronto Blue Jays are going to the 2025 American League Championship Series.
They defeated the New York Yankees 5-2 on Wednesday, securing a 3-1 ALDS win.
The Blue Jays now move on to face the winner of Friday's Game 5 between the Seattle Mariners and Detroit Tigers in Sunday's ALCS opener at Rogers Centre.
Contributions from unheralded players up and down the roster were one of the Blue Jays' defining traits all season.
So it was only fitting that Nathan Lukes, Myles Straw and Ernie Clement delivered big hits, and a cavalcade of relievers shut the Yankees down in the thrilling Game 4 win.

Blue Jays fans quickly took to social media to celebrate the team's first post-season series victory in nine years. Here are some of the best reactions:
Before the season, it felt really generous to consider the Blue Jays wild-card contenders. Now they are headed to the ALCS.
Toronto sports fans have been treated to so much misery of both the expected and unexpected varieties that this club's trajectory is difficult to believe.

They did it their way. Bullpen game, Nathan Lukes, Myles Straw. Full team effort for the #BlueJays to earn their way back to the ALCS. Add another chapter to the magical season.
Pulling off a successful bullpen game -- against the league's best offense, no less -- requires so much. Way better defense, 8 (!) arms contribute, Schneider pulls the strings well, and the bats give a cushion. What a way to win it.
As Blue Jays manager John Schneider remarked recently, baseball can be a cruel game.
After Wednesday, the Yankees can certainly attest to that. But while the Blue Jays have known their share of cruel moments in recent years, including playoff sweeps and painful near-misses in free agency, it's now others who must navigate that pain.
In Toronto, the work is paying off. And while more challenges await this team, they've collectively reached heights this franchise hasn't matched in years, with a chance to achieve even more.
Can't wait to see what's next for this team.
