Blue Jays learn the meaning of 'It's Miller Time'
Cleveland reliever has 10 strikeouts against 12 batters in the ALCS
Game 2 of the American League Championship Series cannot be better described than "It's Miller Time."
After the Toronto Blue Jays ended Game 1 against the Cleveland Indians with "ice cold" bats, Indians reliever Andrew Miller made sure they were frozen during Game 2 of the ALCS.
Andrew Miller's standout performance in Game 2 gave him 10 strikeouts against 12 batters in the ALCS.

—@MLBI've been watching baseball for 40 years and I'm not sure I've seen anything like what Andrew Miller is doing. What a weapon.
—@AdamtheBullFANThe Cleveland Indians now lead the ALCS series 2-0 after defeating the Toronto Blue Jays 2-1 in Cleveland on Saturday.
Although it was an overall team performance that helped secure another win for Cleveland, it was the Indians' pitching that drew online conversation.
Josh Tomlin's curve ball was the talk of the beginning of the game, and it was reliever Andrew Miller's slider that wrapped everything up.
Final: Cleveland 2, Toronto 1<br><br>Josh Tomlin's curve was great. Andrew Miller's slider is unfair. Cleveland is two wins from the World Series.
—@JeffPassanBallgame. The Indians are 5-0 in October and now 2 wins away from the World Series. Tomlin tames Toronto. Miller and Co. slam the door.
—@MLBastianThings I've learned:<br>1. Tomlin is* a big game pticher<br>2. Frankie Lindor was made for the Postseason <br>3. Andrew Miller is a Golden God.
—@holonet242The Toronto Blue Jays weren't the only ones that got a bitter taste of 'Miller Time'...

—@Boomers6169While Blue Jays faithful left Game 2 disappointed, there is still solace in knowing that Toronto Maple Leafs' Auston Matthews could have done the job.
I bet Auston Matthews could hit Andrew Miller’s slider.
—@ScottMitchellPMToronto will face Cleveland at home desperately needing a Game 3 win on Monday at 4:08 p.m. ET.
Cleveland takes Game 2. We’ll see you back in Toronto on Monday, <a href="https://twitter.com/BlueJays">@BlueJays</a> fans! <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/OurMoment?src=hash">#OurMoment</a> <a href="https://t.co/yCCa7VdiYe">pic.twitter.com/yCCa7VdiYe</a>
