The Jays responded by beating the Rangers 5-1 inTexas on Sunday night to stave off elimination and force a Game 4.

Down two games to none, the Jayshad no marginfor errorand had to win Sunday night.

The team will also need to win two more games in a rowif they hope to advance past the Rangers in the best-of-five series and onto the next round.

Can't believe #HaroldReynolds insulted Canadians like that during the @BlueJays game. @MLB @MLB_PR @FOXSports #postseason
