"Three games against the Houston Astros followed by three games against the Baltimore Orioles could have spelled disaster for the Toronto Blue Jays. Both teams had had Toronto's number this season with the Astros up 3-0 and Baltimore up 6-4 in their respective head-to-head season series. But Toronto did what they have done all season, they battled, they overcame deficits, they pitched well and got timely hits."
"The Blue Jays also won the finale of that series against Houston before taking the opener against the Orioles on Friday night. On Saturday, it once again came down to Blue Jays getting clutch at-bats in the bottom of the ninth. Down 4-2, the Blue Jays put together a sequence that included four straight singles, a catchers interference call and with the bases loaded and one out, Alejandro Kirk came up with the walk-off sacrifice fly."
