Cy Young contender J.A. Happ helps team keep grip on top spot in AL East
It’s been 18 days since the Toronto Blue Jays played on a non-Olympic day and not a lot has changed in the American League East standings.
The Blue Jays sit tied with Boston atop the division at 70-54 entering Tuesday night’s series opener against the visiting Los Angeles Angels and two games up on Baltimore (68-56), which was tied for first with Toronto (technically one percentage point ahead) at the start of the Rio Olympics on Aug. 5.
