Toronto clinches its first division title since 1993 by routing the Orioles, 15 – 2, in the first game of a doubleheader. Marcus Stroman pitches 8 innings for the win, continuing his remarkable comeback from a spring training injury, Jose Bautista, Edwin Encarnacion and Justin Smoak hit homers and Ryan Goins has five hits in an offensive display typical of the Jays’ season. The Orioles do come back to win the now meaningless second game, 8 – 1.
