Watch: Bautista homers to send Toronto crowd into frenzy

Last year's ALDS hero broke the ice in this year's postseason.
In Tuesday's sudden-death wild-card game between the Toronto Blue Jays and Baltimore Orioles, Jose Bautista got a Chris Tillman pitch he could handle.
Already with three career homers off the right-hander, Bautista locked in on one pitch and hit a sky-high home run over the left-field wall to give his team an early 1-0 lead.
Needless to say, the crowd went nuts as the ball left the yard:
The blast was Bautista's fifth-career playoff homer, good for second in club history behind Joe Carter, who had six.
