TORONTO (AP) — Blue Jays outfielder Nathan Lukes left Game 1 of the AL Championship Series against Seattle on Sunday after bruising a knee.
Lukes fouled a ball off his right knee in the first, falling in pain, but stayed in the game and drew a 12-pitch walk. He flied out leading off the third and was replaced by Myles Straw for the start of the fourth.
