The Dodgers, 39-16, clinched their eighth consecutive division title. Only the 1991-2005 Braves and 1998-2006 Yankees had longer streaks. Tomorrow they'll begin quarantine at a nearby hotel. Seven days later, they'll host a three-game wild-card series from an empty Dodger Stadium. They probably hope it won't be against the Reds.

The Yankees have averaged 9.38 runs per game against the Blue Jays this season. That's the most runs they've averaged against a single team (min. 6 games) since 1931 (9.41 vs. White Sox), according to ESPN Stats & Info.
In addressing the official lineup card issue that made Tyler Lyons ineligible to pitch, Boone used words similar to Montoyo's in early August when it happened to Jays. Boone said that because MLB sends the cards to the umpires digitally, since there is no official exchange of lineups this coronavirus season, he was not sure why it did not go through.
The Yankees have had a lot of weather delays, but also an air horn delay... a drone delay... a fan who snuck into Fenway delay... an umpire injury delay at Sahlen Field... Every week there seems to be a different reason for a game delay in this most unusual of seasons.
Tough day for the Phillies, as the Nationals sweep the doubleheader behind a complete game from Austin Voth and then Yadiel Hernandez's two-run walk-off home run off Brandon Workman in the nightcap. By the way, beware those deadline trades. Workman is now 1-4 with a 6.92 ERA and three blown saves in 14 appearances with the Phillies.
Gerrit Cole will finish his first season with the New York Yankees with a 2.84 ERA and 94 strikeouts in 73 innings pitched. Yankees 7-1 Blue Jays through 7 innings. Cole, who threw 108 pitches, in line for his 7th win of the season (would finish 7-3, if result holds.)
Gleyber Torres gives the Yankees a 7-1 lead over the Blue Jays with his 300th career hit.
The Los Angeles Angels announce that Andrelton Simmons informed the club that he has chosen to opt out of the remainder of the season. The Angels said in their statement they respect Andrelton's decision.
Cloudy with a bit more wind in Buffalo today, but it seems to be blowing in. That's a good thing in tonight's pitching matchup, with Tanner Roark (14HR) and Gerrit Cole (13HR) being among the leaders in HRs allowed.

Yankees announce they sent Michael King back to the alternate site. Ben Heller was placed on the 60-day IL with a right biceps nerve injury. Yankees also signed Tyler Lyons to a major league contract and selected him to the active roster.
