TORONTO — Marco Estrada set the bar high as he approached his pivotal start for the Blue Jays in Wednesday’s Game 5 of the American League Championship Series, saying that he expected to pitch deep into the game and keep the Indians from celebrating on the turf at Rogers Centre.

Matched against rookie left-hander Ryan Merritt, Estrada instead departed on the long side of the decision, as he surrendered three runs (two earned) — including solo home runs to Carlos Santana and Coco Crisp — in a six-inning effort.
