TORONTO — The Toronto Blue Jays had nothing going against Gerrit Cole for five short innings Friday. The New York Yankees ace cruised through 16 outs before the Jays got a bounce. Luis García Jr.’s glove came off, a rogue throw flew into left field and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. stumbled home to tie the game.It wasn’t a set play or a perfectly manufactured run. It wasn’t a drive into the gap or a rocket over the wall. It was a double-play ball that devolved into game-changing chaos. But that’s the sort of bounce that’s been going Toronto’s way in recent weeks, and Friday it led to a 3-1 win that has the Jays within a game of the final postseason spot.“Just coming to the yard every day and late in games, we’re starting to get that feeling,” Jays pitcher Shane Bieber said. “You know, anything can happen.”Why the AL Wild Card is up for grabsKen Rosenthal and Johnny SweetThe Jays were in shock on trade deadline day, Max Scherzer said. Understandably so. Three of the team’s long-tenured players left for new threads and seemingly better October opportunities. General manager Ross Atkins, hours after the deadline, apologized to fans for the disappointment on the heels of a World Series appearance.The Jays didn’t fully sell and wave the white flag on 2026, but things easily could’ve turned south after Kevin Gausman, Jeff Hoffman and Daulton Varsho departed. Attention could’ve turned to 2027, and obituaries for a disappointing campaign could’ve been crafted.Instead, 11 days after the sell-off, the Jays sit as close to a playoff spot as they have in seven weeks. They’re knocking at the door, and the fans feel it.
