Wouldn't you like to keep moving
Your life would be slightly improving
When you better come on by
And take a letter down
And send it out as sympathy

Two teams on the horizon of the next round, but only one can advance and one game will decide whom. Both the Rangers and the Blue Jays summon their Game 2 starters, Cole Hamels and Marcus Stroman respectively, to try and make it happen. Both starters went seven innings in that game and both allowed four runs (two earned for Hamels, three for Stroman) and neither factored into the final decision. Both of them also surrendered most of their runs in the first two innings, and were dominant from that point onward. Should be fun.

Lineups

RANGERS

DeShields (CF)
Choo (RF)
Fielder (DH)
Beltre (3B)
Moreland (1B)
Hamilton (LF)
Andrus (SS)
Odor (2B)
Gimenez (C)
Hamels (P)

BLUE JAYS

Revere (LF)
Donaldson (3B)
Bautista (RF)
Encarnacion (DH)
Colabello (1B)
Tulowitzki (SS)
Martin (C)
Pillar (CF)
Goins (2B)
Stroman (P)

There's not much else to say. It's a one game take all, where heroes are born in some eyes and villains spawned in others. The Blue Jays fell, but got back up, tried to brush the dust off. Win or lose, we'll lose all sense of time...
