In May, the play started a fight.

Toronto has a litany of talent at their disposal with Martin, Jose Bautista, Troy Tulowitzki and Melvin Upton Jr. also producing at key times during the season.

"We got cold at the worst moment", Rangers slugger Adrian Beltre said.

Thus it was that Donaldson, the reigning AL MVP, strode to the plate to lead off the 10th inning and promptly stroked a one-hop double off the right-centre field fence. But Rougned Odor bounced the throw to first and a diving Donaldson beat Mitch Moreland's desperate throw to home.

If you were tied up with the presidential debate on Sunday night, you can be forgiven for missing a tense, taut ALDS game between the Texas Rangers and Toronto Blue Jays that ended on a classic play that will live on in highlight reels for decades to come. "I'm just as disappointed as anyone in that clubhouse", Banister said.

Toronto's bench emptied and swarmed around Donaldson near home plate, while Bush kneeled in the infield and watched the celebration. The Rangers got the out at second, but Josh Donaldson ran all the way home on the heads-up play and scored to win the game and advance the Blue Jays to the next round.

You could argue that J.A. Happ didn't have his best stuff in Game 2 either, but that said, the Jays certainly had an edge on the Rangers starting rotation. "He's been unbelievable. Multiple innings at this stage of the season aren't ideal for a young pitcher like him, but he was adamant about going out there and we felt really good about it".

That's because after falling in five games to the Jays last season in the ALDS in heartbreaking fashion, this was a team created to thrive in the postseason. On May 15, Odor famously punched Bautista to spark a brawl in Texas, and the broadcast of Sunday's game showed a fan-made sign declaring "I would rather get punched in May than get knocked out in October". Keone Kela tossed 1 2/3 scoreless innings while Matt Bush tossed a pair of scoreless frames himself. "This is one of the best closers in the game, a 21-year-old kid who's not afraid of the big stage".

While "leave" supporters at the conference expressed their confidence in broad brushstrokes, pro-EU Conservatives anxious about details.

The Blue Jays responded with three runs in the bottom half as Edwin Encarnacion blasted a two-run home run - his first at-bat at the Rogers Centre since his memorable walk-off AL Wild Card game homer against the Orioles - and Russell Martin hit a solo homer of his own to make it a 3-1 ballgame after one.

Toronto is headed to the AL Championship Series after beating Texas in an ALDS for a second straight year and will face the victor of the Cleveland-Boston series. The Cubs take a 2-0 series lead into game three in San Francisco on Monday.

Banister was gracious in a defeat he acknowledged was "disappointing". And I'll say this again, I'll tell our guys again, look, you've got to use these types of situations as that burning fire that keeps you going all winter to come back with the motivation to get back to this spot, continue to win. For the Jays, Jason Grilli, Brett Cecil, and Roberto Osuna combined for three scoreless innings.

Murphy singled in a run in the fourth to hasten the departure of Hill, who struck out seven while giving up six hits and four runs in 4 1/3 innings. "The slide replays, it's hurt us a couple of times this year...." We didn't let them get to us. They were the only two homers of the series for Texas.

Moreland greeted Biagini with a two-run double that glanced off the glove of diving center fielder Kevin Pillar to give the Rangers a 6-5 lead.

Colby Lewis allowed five runs in two innings for Texas.

Banister suggested he called for the replay immediately due to incidents like the controversial end to a Reds-Cardinals game late in the regular season, which the Reds lost because manager Bryan Price did not challenge a game-ending play quickly enough.
