Marcus Stroman tossed up a cookie, and Mark Trumbo made him pay for it.
Earlier in Tuesday's game, Toronto Blue Jays slugger Jose Bautista gave his team an early 1-0 with a mammoth home run.

But in the fourth inning of the do-or-die game against the Baltimore Orioles, Stroman made a mistake to MLB's home run leader.
Trumbo, who had 47 regular-season home runs, destroyed a pitch over the left-field wall to give his team a 2-1 lead.
The blast was Trumbo's first postseason homer, in his first postseason game.
