The Texas Rangers and the Toronto Blue Jays face off on Monday in Game 4 of their AL Division Series as the MLB Playoffs 2015 continue. Today's game takes place from Globe Life Park in Arlington, Texas and has a scheduled start time of 4 p.m. ET. The game can be watched on TV on the Fox Sports 1 network or online through live stream via the link below.
The Rangers come into Game 4 with a 2-1 lead but will be disappointed that they have not been able to put this series to bed already. They had returned to Texas for Game 3 with a 2-0 lead and with the expectation that they would close the series out on Sunday night.
However, the Blue Jays comprehensively outplayed and out pitched the Rangers in Game 3 to win 5-1 and inch their way back into this series.
Today's game will still be a must win game for the Blue Jays, but if they can pull off a second straight win here today then their reward will be to level the series, sending things to a winner takes all Game 5 that will take place back in Toronto on Wednesday.
Toronto will already have more confidence following their win in Game 3. They had arrived in Texas facing elimination having lost their two home games to open the series, but their much touted offense finally arrived in the series and it couldn't have come a minute sooner.
Troy Tulowitzki starred and featured in the biggest moment of the night, with a three-run home run at the top of the sixth inning.
Toronto entered this series as big favorites to win through, with most believing their immense firepower in offense would be too much for the Rangers. However, after two insufferable performances in Toronto, the Rangers looked like they would sweep the series.
But the atmosphere surrounding this series has now changed once again, and unless the Rangers can find a way to silence this powerhouse offense of the Blue Jays then they could see this one going all the way to a Game 5 and with all momentum back with Toronto.
After Game 3, Tulowitzki said, "I think we were more patient in those big situations. Something that we had talked about actually today was, I think because we can hit the long ball and we can end the game with one swing, say, late in the game, that guys wanted to try to hit that home run. And today we put together good at-bats, walks, hitting the ball the other way, moving runners."
He added, "We played just better baseball overall, so I think we learned from our mistakes, we corrected them and hats off to the guys in our clubhouse, because the approach changed and we got a win because of it, and hopefully we can continue that these next two games."
