The Toronto Blue Jays came close to solving Cole Gamels in game two of the ALDS. In fact, that was the theme of those first two game. The Blue Jays stood on the doorstep of every opportunity, but continually failed to take the final step.
With Hamels set to face Marcus Stroman on Wednesday at the Rogers Centre in a fifth and deciding game, the Toronto lineup will need to find a more productive approach. In Hamels’ first start, the tall lefty completed seven strong innings, allowing six hits and two earned runs (four total).
