Blue Jays Win League Championship Series
The Toronto Blue Jays "proved we can handle pressure" by beating the League Championship Series and eliminating the Baltimore Orioles, according to series MVP Cristian Guzman.

"This is the big stage, we're off to the World Series and looking towards the World Series," he said. "There's a lot of pressure at this time of year and it's only going to get more intense from here. But I think we can handle it just fine."

Toronto won the final game 6-2, to wrap up the series 4-2.

Guzman led his team to the series win by putting up a .571 average, with a .571 on-base percentage. He had 1 home runs, drove in 4 RBI and scored 4 runs.

The Toronto Blue Jays will play against the Philadelphia Phillies in the next round. Philadelphia won their series against the St. Louis Cardinals 4 games to 0. The World Series schedule will be announced after the League Championship Series finishes.
