NATIONAL SPORTS

The Toronto Blue Jays have plenty to celebrate — a post-season berth clinched Thursday and now a 9-0 blowout victory over the Boston Red Sox. Toronto made it in thanks to Baltimore’s loss to Boston Thursday. George Springer hit a three-run home run three innings after a two-run shot from Vladimir Guerrero Junior in the win.


Drew Rasmussen pitched seven effective innings and the Tampa Bay Rays clinched a playoff spot for the fourth straight season, beating the Houston Astros 7-3. The Rays began the day in the third and final American League wild-card spot, trailing Toronto and Seattle. Despite the loss, Houston clinched home-field advantage throughout the A-L playoffs.


Albert Pujols hit his 701st home run, Jack Flaherty allowed one run in six innings and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 2-1. Pujols mashed a slider from Johan Oveido 398 feet to left field in the fourth inning, his 22nd homer of the season. In his first game against his former teammate, Oviedo became the 456th different pitcher Pujols has homered against.


Austin Riley and Matt Olson hit back-to-back homers off Jacob deGrom in the second inning and Dansby Swanson later connected off the Mets ace as the Atlanta Braves beat New York 5-2 to move into a tie for the National League East lead. The defending World Series champion Braves are trying to keep the Mets from winning once in the three-game series and earn the tiebreaker between the two teams. Both teams are 98-and-59 with five games to go in the regular season.


Zach Collaros threw four touchdown passes, the Blue Bombers defence forced six turnovers and Winnipeg bounced back with a 31-13 win over the Saskatchewan Roughriders. The league-leading Bombers were coming off a 48-31 upset loss at the hands of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats two weeks ago.


Brett Kulak scored the winning goal just before the midway mark of the final period as the Edmonton Oilers pulled out a 2-1 victory over the Calgary Flames in N-H-L pre-season action. Leon Draisaitl scored Edmonton’s other goal, while Dillon Dube scored Calgary’s lone goal for the night.
