“In these kind of games, you’ve always got to do your part. It doesn’t matter what you do. It can be on the defensive side, it can be on the offensive side, it can be on the bases,” Rojas told reporters in the clubhouse at Rogers Centre on Friday. “You gotta kind of play the game, play one pitch at a time, and don’t take any pitches off. That’s the reason why were able to make plays when we needed to.”
“We’re just — we’re going to leave it out there. I don’t think that the pressure, the moment’s going to be too big for us. We got to go out there and win one baseball game. We’ve done that all year. Everyone’s bought in,” manager Dave Roberts said after Friday’s win. “So I don’t know how the game’s going to play out, but as far as kind of the moment, winning a game, I couldn’t be more excited to get to sleep and wake up to play a baseball game tomorrow.”
Here is the Blue Jays lineup for the series finale, with Max Scherzer on the mound.
