(Reuters) - Toronto's potent offense set up an 8-4 win against the Texas Rangers in a do-or-die Game Four on Monday but the biggest surprise was the Blue Jays manager's decision to bring ace David Price out of the bullpen to pitch three innings.

It was Price's first appearance in relief since 2010 and his first in a post-season game since his rookie season in 2008, but he earned the win to ensure that his team will return to Toronto for the decisive Game Five on Wednesday.
