The Toronto Blue Jays used good pitching and continuous hitting to rout the New York Yankees 10-1 in Game 1 of the ALDS. Yankees starter Luis Gil didn't reach the fourth inning, as the Blue Jays recorded four hits off him, two of them solo home runs from Alejandro Kirk and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. that gave Toronto an early 2-0 lead.

A few batters later, Bo Naylor smacked a three-run homer to put the game out of reach. Guardians closer Cade Smith, who came in for the final out of the eighth inning, kept the Tigers off the board in the ninth to secure the victory.
