Michael Kay got trolled for claiming the Blue Jays were "not a first-place team" after Toronto overtook the Yankees for first place in the AL East.

George Springer hit two two-run home runs and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the New York Yankees 8-5 on Thursday night to complete a four-game sweep and take sole possession of the AL East lead.

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.
