Toronto's late-inning magic kept the Blue Jays atop the AL East, opening a three-game cushion over New York after an extra-innings 4-3 win over Houston. Isiah Kiner-Falefa ignited the rally with a two-run single in the ninth, and Tyler Heineman delivered the walk-off in the 10th. In New York, Detroit exploded for nine in the seventh to rout the Yankees, while Boston inched closer behind a 6-0 win over Oakland. With 18 games left, Toronto holds a critical tiebreaker edge over DET, NYY, and BOS, and Houston sits five back as the Jays chase home-field advantage for the playoffs.
