KANSAS CITY – Where is Elvis Andrus when you need him?
The Toronto Blue Jays opened the ALCS with baseball’s best offense facing the staff with the worst ERA of the 10 postseason teams, as well as a starting pitcher who had a 6.46 career ERA against them. And what happened? The Blue Jays were shut out, 5-0, on three hits, all singles.
Toronto needed 56 pitches and four innings before getting its first hit against Kansas City starter Edinson Volquez and mounted only one real challenge against him.
