That defeat mathematically eliminated Baltimore from the playoffs and guaranteed Toronto will be in the post-season.

But the Blue Jays had Thursday off, meaning they couldn’t celebrate together as a team.

Toronto hosts the Red Sox tonight to start a three-game series. Blue Jays interim manager John Schneider says his team will celebrate its post-season berth regardless of the result against Boston.

The Blue Jays have six more regular-season games. Toronto is still playing for home-field advantage in the American League wild card series.
