ARLINGTON, Tex. — Troy Tulowitzki’s three-run homer Sunday will never be compared to the three-run shot that Joe Carter hit in Game 6 of the 1993 World Series. Few home runs could ever surpass that one for its dramatic timing and historical significance.
Still, Tulowitzki’s homer was the first since Carter’s to help propel the Toronto Blue Jays to a postseason victory, and that alone is something.
Twenty-two years and three playoff games later, Toronto finally has another postseason win to celebrate.
Tulowitzki’s sixth-inning blast against Chi Chi Gonzalez sailed over the left-field fence and helped ensure the Blue Jays’ 5-1 win over the Texas Rangers in Game 3 of their American League division series.
