MLB The Toronto Blue Jays lost 6-2 to Tampa Bay Tuesday night, which keeps them two games back of division leading Boston. Baltimore doubled up the Red Sox 6-3 so the Orioles and Jays are currently tied for both wild card spots in the American League. Detroit is two games back of the wild card after losing 8-1 to Minnesota.
Marco Estrada gets the ball as the Blue Jays wrap up a three-game set with Tampa Bay this afternoon at Rogers Centre.
The Rogers Centre hosted 38,338 fans for last night's game and has surpassed three-million fans on the season for the first time since 1993. That's when Toronto last won a World Series and the stadium was still called SkyDome.
