The Blue Jays score early and often in defeating the Rangers, 10 – 1, in Game 1 of the ALDS. They chase Cole Hamels in the 4th inning, by which time they are already up, 7 – 0, the big blow being a bases-loaded triple by Troy Tulowitzki. For his part, Marco Estrada is masterful, using a diet of change-ups to keep Texas off the scoreboard until the 9th.
