Yankees vs. Blue Jays score: Live updates from AL wild-card race; Red Sox, Mariners also in action - CBS sports.com

Just five days remain in the 2021 Major League Baseball season and the AL wild-card race is going down to the wire. Entering Wednesday night's action, the Yankees held a two-game lead over the Red Sox for the top spot with Boston clinging to a half-game lead over the Mariners and one-game lead over the Blue Jays. The Blue Jays face the Yankees at home on Wednesday night, while the Mariners host the A's and the Red Sox visit the Orioles after falling to last-place Baltimore on Tuesday.

The big head-to-head matchup here is in Toronto, of course. The pitching matchup is excellent, too, with Cy Young contenders Jose Berrios (12-9, 3.48 ERA) and Gerrit Cole (16-8, 3.08 ERA) squaring off. The Blue Jays' Berrios took the ball Sept. 9 against the Yankees, working 6 2/3 innings and allowing two runs on five hits with eight strikeouts in a Toronto win. Cole has faced the Blue Jays four times this year, going 2-1 with a 2.74 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 22 strikeouts in 23 innings. With the Yankees having won the opener in this series Tuesday night, the Blue Jays' backs are against the proverbial wall here.

Here's a look at the AL wild-card standings entering Wednesday night, as well as key games on the schedule.
