With a narrow 4-3 series win, the Los Angeles Angels have eliminated the Toronto Blue Jays and are the 2020 American League Championship Series winners.

Los Angeles won the final game by a score of 6-3, wrapping it up at Rogers Centre. The game turned in the 7th inning when Nomar Mazara hit a grand-slam to give the Angels a 5-2 lead.
