Lewis allowed five total runs, including two home runs in this inning, joining Cole Hamels and Yu Darvish in the poor start club. The Rangers got another poor start in this series, this time by Colby Lewis, who was pulled before he could record an out in the third inning. So far in the postseason, including the Wild Card Game against the Baltimore Orioles and this three-game Division Series sweep of Texas, the Blue Jays are undefeated in four games, scoring 27 total runs, including 10 home runs. 236/.334/.358 in their final 29 games, averaging 3.66 runs per game.
But after averaging 4.91 runs per contest through August, the Blue Jays hit only. Toronto finished ninth in the majors in runs per game in 2016, after leading the league last year. 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 Blue Jays advance to the American League Championship Series for a second straight year, the first time they have done that since winning back-to-back World Series in 19.
