Facing down the barrel of elimination isn't anything new for the Blue Jays this postseason. The pride of Canada was down 2-0 to the Rangers in the ALDS, only to win three consecutive games and advance to its first-ever ALCS since 1993.
Trade Deadline An Essential Aspect Of Postseason Success
Down 3-1 to the Royals, the Blue Jays will need to do it again. Just don't expect the Rogers Centre to be of any assistance.
The Royals have scored at least two runs in six of the past 14 innings in Toronto. At least four runs were plated in three of those.

The #BlueJays need to win 3 consecutive elimination games in a row in order to advance. They haven't done that since... last week.
