TORONTO (Associated Press) -- Jose Bautista wiped out the need for protests or umpire reviews with the Toronto Blue Jays'biggest home run since Joe Carterś historic shot.
"... Itś the most emotionally charged game that I've ever played," Bautista said.
The Blue Jays became the third team to win a best-of-five series after loosing the first two games at home. The 2001 Yankees also did it against Oakland, and the 2012 Giants did it against Cincinnati. Both of those teams went on to reach the World Series.
"The odds were against us but I don't think these guys ever thought we were out of it," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said.
Bautist's homer capped an event-filled, 53-minute seventh inning that took a turn when Toronto catcher Russell Martin's seemingly routine throw back to the pitcher deflected off batter Choo Shin Soo and allowed the tiebreaking to score.
"That was crazy," Blue Jays starter Marcus Stroman said. "With all that happened, we did a good job of keeping our emotions in check." Read More
