Blue Jays Rally Past Astros for 2-0 Series Lead
The Toronto Blue Jays got a strong game from starter Yuji Fujii, but it was some clutch hitting that ultimately delivered the win.

The Blue Jays took the 4-3 win over the Houston Astros in Game 2 of the Division Series in a 9th inning walk-off. The win capped off a fine outing for the right-handed Fujii. Fujii threw 7.0 innings of 5-hit ball in the win, which gave the Blue Jays a 2-0 lead in the best-of-5 series.

Nick Slate was the walk-off hero for Toronto. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Blue Jays center fielder hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

Toronto manager Dan Silva commended his team for delivering "maximum effort."

Game 3 is scheduled for Monday at Minute Maid Park in Houston.
