VIDEO: Ailing Beltre flawlessly fields Revere bunt

Troy Taormina-USA TODAY Sports

The Toronto Blue Jays are lucky Adrian Beltre isn't playing at full strength, because there's no telling how much more dominant he'd actually be.

Despite being limited by a severely injured back, Beltre is hobbling through another exceptional performance with his Texas Rangers' season on the line.

Blue Jays speedster Ben Revere tested Beltre's ailing back with a perfectly executed bunt during the fifth inning of Game 5, but the slick-fielding third baseman showed no worse for wear by making a spectacular 5-3 putout.

Beltre also ripped a single earlier in the game and beat out a fielder's choice at first to break up a double play. The future Hall of Famer is now batting .500/.556/.500 this series.
