Washington Nationals had one job, beat Boston. They failed.
After thrashing the Orioles earlier in the day, fans had hopes the Jays were headed to the playoffs.
The next step on the road to a wildcard spot was to have Washington beat the Red Sox to force a game between the American League East rivals.
But Boston beat Washington 7-5 to end the Blue Jays’ season.
Minutes before the Red Sox win, the New York Yankees walked off the Tampa Bay Rays 1-0 to claim the first wild card spot.
