The Blue Jays extend the ALCS by taking Game 5, 7 – 1, at home against the Royals. Chris Colabello’s solo homer in the 2nd is the only run through the first five innings as pitchers Marco Estrada and Edinson Volquez are dominant, but the Jays take advantage of Volquez’s wildness to score four runs in the 6th and break the game open.
