Jays lose wild-card ground! This is The Sports Reset for Wednesday September 2nd In MLB, the Cleveland Guardians beat the Jays 6 to 1 in a pivotal American League wild-card game. Gavin Williams struck out a career-high 13 and allowed only two singles over seven innings, while Patrick Bailey opened the scoring with a two-run homer. Toronto finished with three hits, and the loss left the Jays two-and-a-half games behind Cleveland for the final playoff spot. The Minnesota Twins beat the Detroit Tigers 15 to 2, powered by a 10-run sixth inning. Royce Lewis and Ryan Jeffers each launched a three-run homer, keeping the Twins three-and-a-half games behind the Guardians. Up next, in MLB, the Jays continue their series against the Guardians with Dylan Cease facing Joey Cantillo. Cease enters after holding the Seattle Mariners to one run over six innings in his previous start, and Toronto needs its 29th-ranked offence to offer more support after Tuesday’s three-hit showing. The Baltimore Orioles visit the Colorado Rockies and the Texas Rangers host the Athletics, with Baltimore and Texas both one-and-a-half games behind Cleveland in the crowded wild-card race. Later this week, in Formula 1, the Italian Grand Prix weekend begins Friday at Monza, with Sunday’s race at the high-speed circuit. Beyond the scoreboard, Stan Kroenke’s sports group agreed to buy the Los Angeles Angels from Arte Moreno in a reported record four-billion-dollar deal expected to close in early 2027.
