It seemed oddly natural that after a lacklustre September the Toronto Blue Jays’ bullpen did the heavy lifting in the American League Wild Card game on Tuesday night at the Rogers Centre.
Arriving just in time, Toronto’s relievers combined to throw four hitless innings with Brett Cecil‘s seventh-inning walk the only runner allowed. In the process, Cecil, Joe Biagini, Jason Grilli, Roberto Osuna, and Francisco Liriano stood shoulder-to-shoulder as the five-man team the Blue Jays will lean on against the Texas Rangers and potentially beyond.

The Blue Jays got a scare in the 10th inning when their 21-year-old closer was removed from the game following an out.
