Blue Jays Now Lead AL, Brewers Lead MLB

The Toronto Blue Jays currently hold the best record in the American League after a 6-2 win over the Detroit Tigers, extending their 7-1 run since the All-Star break and marking 19 wins in their last 24 games. The Blue Jays, with a record of 61-42, have achieved a franchise-record 11 consecutive home wins and are being compared to their strong 2015-2016 squads. They trail only the Milwaukee Brewers, who maintain the best record in MLB. The Detroit Tigers have fallen further in the standings, losing 11 of their last 12 games. The Blue Jays and Tigers will continue their four-game series, with Toronto set to face the Baltimore Orioles next. Recent reports confirm the Astros no longer lead the AL, with the Blue Jays now atop the league standings.
