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.
