Blue Jays Win Wild Card Series
The Toronto Blue Jays triumphed 5-4 over the Kansas City Royals at SkyDome 1989-2015 in the Wild Card Series to capture it 4-2.

The victory advanced the Blue Jays to the Divisional Series.

For his superb play in the series, Blue Jays third baseman Ryan Braun garnered the series MVP trophy, hitting .400, scoring 7 runs and batting in 6.

"Only thing better than getting MVP for winning in the playoffs would be winning MVP for winning in the World Series," Braun said later. "I'll get to work on that."

The Toronto Blue Jays will play against the New York Yankees in the next round. New York had a bye in the Wild Card Series. The Divisional Series schedule will be announced after the Wild Card Series finishes.
