Can the Blue Jays stave off ALCS elimination?

The Toronto Blue Jays have won four straight elimination games, including three against the Texas Rangers in the American League Division Series, to reach Game 6 of the AL Championship Series in Kansas City.

They'll need to win at least two more to keep their season alive.

Asked about his club's resilience, Toronto manager John Gibbons said before Friday's first pitch: "They've looked and played and acted like they have all season long."

Gibbons would rather avoid win-or-else games, but he also thinks his team embraces them.

"It's not ideal and it's not easy, but they've proven themselves and they really expect to win tonight," Gibbons said. "I have not seen any change in their demeanor at all."
