The last time the Blue Jays were atop MLB this late in the season was 1992, according to Sportsnet. The 1992 season was the first of consecutive World Series championships for Toronto, so this is quite the good omen.

With the victory, the Blue Jays are 61-42 overall, which put them percentage points ahead of the Houston Astros in the American League. Toronto also has the second-best record in baseball behind the Milwaukee Brewers, who are percentage points ahead of the Blue Jays.
