The red-hot Toronto Blue Jays surged into first place in the American League East by sweeping the New York Yankees in a four-game series last week. Their rivalry spilled over from the field and into the broadcast booths when Jamie Campbell, host of Blue Jays Central on SportsNet, took a shot at Yankees announcing legend Michael Kay.

The Toronto Blue Jays recently completed a four-game sweep of the New York Yankees, ascending to first place in the AL East in the process.

The Toronto Blue Jays sit in a first-place tie atop the AL East with the New York Yankees. Barely a month ago, the Jays were eight games back. The Rays were seven back; now they're only half a game out.

After being taunted with a broom, Michael Kay dropped a hammer. Kay, the Yankees’ play-by-play voice on YES Network and a talk-show host on ESPN radio, reacted Sunday to being called out by Jamie Campbell of Rogers Sportsnet in Toronto after the Blue Jays swept a four-game series from the spiraling Yankees to overtake first place in the AL East.

The Toronto Blue Jays are the hottest team in baseball, and they're now linked to one of the biggest names at the trade deadline.

The Yankees entered Thursday having posted a 3-9 record against division rivals since June 6, and they were 10-15 overall against the East.

For the first time since April 13, the Yankees are no longer in sole possession of first place in the division, now tied with the Blue Jays after dropping a third straight game to them, this one a crushing 11-9 loss at Rogers Centre. The game seemed all but over after the first inning, when Will Warren dug them a 7-0 hole that soon became 8-0.

The Toronto Blue Jays need another starting pitcher to fend off the New York Yankees and take home the AL East.
