ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) " Toronto's Marco Estrada held Texas scoreless into the ninth inning as the Blue Jays cruised to a 10-1 win over the Rangers on Thursday in the opening game of their American League Division Series. Bautista added a 425-foot blast in the ninth inning, and the Blue Jays slugger seemed to deliberately drop the bat softly near home plate. Troy Tulowitzki hit a bases-loaded triple for the Blue Jays. However the Red Sox did not fold easily, and were right in the contest until the final pitch. He struck out Boston slugger David Ortiz with two runners on to end the fifth and threw a season-high 40 pitches.
