Pitcher Josh Tomlin baffled Blue Jays batters for nearly six innings and Andrew Miller blew them away as the Cleveland Indians edged Toronto 2-1 to take 2-0 lead in Major League Baseball's AL Championship Series.
Carlos Santana homered off 20-game winner JA Happ and Francisco Lindor had an RBI single
for the Indians, who have won five straight post-season games for the first time in their 116-year history.
An afterthought in August, Tomlin has emerged as an unlikely October star for the Indians.
He allowed one run and three hits in 5-2/3 innings before Cleveland manager Terry Francona called on his bullpen led by the magnificent Miller, who is making the Blue Jays look like Little Leaguers.
The lanky left-hander struck out the side in the seventh, two more in the eighth and has 10 strikeouts in 3-2/3 innings in the series.
