Stats on the Toronto Blue Jays’ hot postseason start

Shortstop Elvis Andrus hit a solo homer for Texas in the third and Odor added a two-run shot in the fourth.

The Blue Jays plan to enact heightened security measures and alcohol policies in the wake of a beer-tossing incident earlier this week.

“We go home”, Rangers manager Jeff Banister said. His appearance capped 4 1/3 scoreless innings of one-hit ball by Toronto’s bullpen after starter Aaron Sanchez allowed six runs.

The Blue Jays got home runs by Encarnacion and Russell Martin in the first inning to get things started, part of a seven-run night and a resurgent October after struggling over the final month of the season. The veteran finished the year with a 6-5 record and a 3.71 ERA in 19 starts, but those numbers don’t reflect how effective he was, especially in the first half of the season. We had a pier 6 Brawl back in May with Jose Bautista and ROUGENED Odor they both got suspended and what about what happened a year ago when the benches cleared twice in game 5. Troy Tulowitzki singled with one out.

After Pillar was intentionally walked to load the bases, Keone Kela came in to face Darwin Barney, who fouled out to third. As GM Ross Atkins notes, power is just one of many assets on display.

Winning pitcher Blake Treinen retired all four batters he faced, lefty Oliver Perez retired both batters he saw in the eighth and closer Mark Melancon pitched the ninth for the save. He was replaced by Roberto Osuna, who got the final five outs as Toronto won 5-3.

The Rangers got on the board without even recording a hit in the first inning. The Rangers loaded up on offense with Carlos Beltran, Jonathan Lucroy and Carlos Gomez, but perhaps they should’ve focused on pitching instead.

The Blue Jays were still a power hitting team in September, they were just a power hitting team that wasn’t hitting for enough power. That allowed Josh Donaldson to score, giving the Blue Jays a 7-6 win to sweep this ALDS and giving their fans another reason to celebrate on Thanksgiving Day in Canada. It was their first postseason sweep in franchise history.

Locked in a brutal four-team battle not only to win the division, but to barely scrape their way into the postseason, the Blue Jays have been in a season-long scrap. He gave up five runs in Game 3, including two homers in the first inning. Beltran walked to lead off the inning and was forced out at second on a grounder to second by Adrian Beltre.

“I was thinking ‘Not double play, ‘ Martin said”.

After the game, the Blue Jays stuck around to acknowledge their fans.

An MRI exam revealed Travis is dealing with a right knee bone bruise.

As for Cleveland, who has played wonderful baseball – surprisingly – so far in their ALDS series with Boston, it’s hard to see them having the same horses to keep up with Toronto over a seven-game series.

A routine double play attempt has ended the Texas Rangers’ season prematurely.
