Manager John Schneider had some things to say regarding the tight race.
"«We know it's going to come down to the wire, and we'll continue to stay focused on what we have to do rather than anyone else," Schneider told reporters, per Keegan Matheson of MLB.com.

The Blue Jays had a 5 game lead on the Yankees just last week but after losing 5 of their last 6 games, that lead has dwindled down to only one game.
