Do you believe in miracles? Some baseball fans in Toronto took to Twitter to share how much they believe after the Blue Jays won Game 3 in Texas.
That's because a different looking Blue Jays team showed up to play in the lone-star state after losing their first two games in Toronto to the Rangers during the American League Divisional Series.

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

Down two games to none, the Jays had no margin for error and had to win Sunday night.

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

Harold Reynolds — a Fox Sports announcer — was also trending on Twitter in Toronto for much of the game after making a comment about Canadian baseball fans. 
But once Troy Tulowitzki belted a three-run home run to give the team some breathing room with a five-run lead, Toronto fans couldn't contain their love and admiration for the recently acquired shortstop. 

With Thanksgiving being celebrated this weekend in Canada, many fans took the opportunity to give thanks for the man they call Tulo.

The home run was his first of this year's playoffs. 



The win was as big of a relief for Jays fans as it was for the players on the field.


Other fans were just happy to see the Jays return to their winning ways.

And it didn't take long for the players to get in on the action.
Game 4 gets started Monday at 4:07 p.m. in Texas. The Jays will send knuckle ball pitcher R.A. Dickey to the hill while the Rangers will counter with left-hander Derek Holland.
