The New York Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays will meet for the first time this season Monday night in the opener of a three-game series at Buffalo.
There are postseason implications, with the teams meeting 10 times in the next three weeks -- seven games at the Blue Jays home-away-from home in Buffalo.
The Blue Jays (22-18) moved into second place, one game ahead of the Yankees (21-19), in the American League East after their 10-8 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Sunday. The Yankees lost 5-1 to the Baltimore Orioles.
The Tampa Bay Rays (28-13) lead the AL East by 5 1/2 games.
