Here are some facts and figures to know from the series opener:
• Blue Jays starter David Price extended his postseason losing streak to six games, the second-longest in history. The left-hander won his first postseason decision, as a reliever for the Rays in the 2008 AL Championship Series against the Red Sox, but now has dropped each of his six starts in the postseason. During the streak, which goes back to the 2010 ALDS against the Rangers, Price owns a 5.23 ERA. Texas has handed him four of those defeats.
Hall of Famer Randy Johnson took the loss in seven straight postseason appearances (all starts) between Game 6 of the 1995 ALCS and Game 2 of the 2001 National League Division Series.
