Toronto Blue Jays clinch wild card and are headed to the playoffs

The Toronto Blue Jays are going to the playoffs.

The Blue Jays might not have clinched via a walkoff grand slam in the bottom of the ninth — or really, any all that exciting play by their actual team — but they're heading to the 2023 postseason nevertheless.

By way of the Seattle Mariners’ 6-1 loss to the Texas Rangers, Toronto will find themselves competing in the MLB playoffs for the second consecutive season, and third time since 2020.

The Blue Jays had a chance to clinch in front of their home crowd on Saturday, but fell 7-5 to the Tampa Bay Rays in extra innings.

Toronto will be heading to Minnesota for a best-of-three Wild Card series for a chance to advance to the American League Division Series (ALDS) next weekend.

Here's whatthe schedule will look likefor the first two rounds of the postseason, with Toronto needing to win two of their three Wild Card series games on the road to have a home playoff date:
