The Toronto Blue Jays continue their resurgence, climbing back into a tie for first place in the American League East after overcoming an eight-game deficit. Key to their success has been a 32-18 run since early May, propelled by contributions from various players despite injuries. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has been a standout, recently named an All-Star for the fifth time.
