ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) " Toronto and Cleveland both won on Friday to take 2-0 series leads in their respective American League Division Series, putting Texas and Boston on the brink of swift eliminations. Toronto hit three home runs in the fifth inning and won 5-3 at Texas. Toronto only had six hits for the game, against 13 by the Rangers, but made them count. Cleveland's Corey Kluber held Boston scoreless into the eighth inning to set up a 6-0 home win against the Red Sox. The run ended the Giants record of not giving up a run in 23 innings of postseason play, dating back to 2014 World Series.
