BOSTON (AP) – The Toronto Blue Jays have clinched an AL wild-card spot.

Toronto got its playoff berth when Detroit lost 1-0 at Atlanta on Sunday. The Blue Jays were playing at Boston when their clinching became official.

Toronto will play Baltimore in the AL wild-card game Tuesday night. If the Blue Jays beat Boston, the game would be in Toronto; if they lost, Baltimore would host.
