BOSTON - It may have been David Ortiz Day at Fenway Park Sunday, but it was the Toronto Blue Jays who were set to really celebrate Sunday as they snagged the final American League playoff berth on the last day of the season.

The Blue Jays will play the Baltimore Orioles in Tuesday's wild card game, a result ensured when the Detroit Tigers lost 1-0 to the Atlanta Braves at Turner Field.

Just minutes after the Tigers lost, the Blue Jays made sure they'll face the Orioles at Rogers Centre. Troy Tulowitzki's RBI single in the eighth inning gave Toronto a 2-1 victory and tied Baltimore with an 89-73 record.

Blue Jays starter Aaron Sanchez stole the show initially at Fenway Park, flirting with a no-hitter for seven innings.
