Troy Tulowitzki, Toronto Blue Jays blast Texas Rangers, stay alive

Tons of treatment to be honest with you.

“You know, it’s special for sure, and that seems like such a cliche word but it’s amusing how it’s come full circle for me personally, having learned the knuckleball here in 2005, and now potentially with a chance to take the series back to Toronto with a Game 4 start”, the 40-year-old Dickey said.

Marco Estrada and Troy Tulowitzki threw Toronto a lifeline Sunday night as the Blue Jays defeated the Texas Rangers 5-1 to stay alive in their American League Division Series.

“For that to happen that early in the year, for a guy who wasn’t expected to be in the lineup every day, I think it really gave me the confidence to know that I was able to be an everyday player, that I was worthy of being out there…” Gonzalez walked Encarnacion on 10 pitches to load the bases. He missed most of the final three weeks of the regular season because of a cracked shoulder blade and bruised muscles in his upper back. “He had that long layoff with the injury”. Maybe that sets him off…. “We went into Toronto, played two really good ballgames, a 14-inning ballgame that was tough to both teams”.

In the fateful sixth inning, the Rangers got perhaps a bit greedy by allowing Perez to pitch against the top of the Blue Jays’ order for a third time.

Today at 4:07 p.m. ET on Fox Sports 1, the Blue Jays will try to capitalize on their rousing Game 3 win in Game 4 of the ALDS vs. the Rangers.

“We’ve been in this situation before”.

“Derek has been a key pitcher for us”, Rangers manager Jeff Banister on Sunday night.

“We haven’t ruled him out of tomorrow’s game”, Daniels said. It lasted five innings, with the Venezuelan giving up four runs on six hits with three walks and two strikeouts.

The Blue Jays had their leadoff hitter at second base to start each the third through fifth innings, a span that included the double plays started by Odor, whose grounder in the seventh produced the only Texas run. The move paid off when he collected a bases-loaded walk in the fourth inning that put Toronto up 2-0. Tulowitzki fouled the first one back but sent the second one into the left-field seats for his first postseason home run since 2007.

At that point, Beltre was still getting treatment, and Banister said then he was “not ready to start”.

“They’ll win one or two games”.

Tulowitzki was a career.

Although they didn’t deliver a win for a rowdy sellout crowd of 49, 834, the Blue Jays weren’t feeling down. An infield single from Kevin Pillar put runners on the corners for Ryan Goins who grounded into a double play but scored Navarro in the process.

In the night game, Jacob deGrom struck out a career high 13 batters to lead the New York Mets to a 3-1 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers to take a 1-0 lead. Since the trade deadline, Toronto has won three straight on four different occasions, as well as two five-game winning streaks, and who can forget their 11 straight wins from August 2 to August 13.
