Sunday offered another intense day of postseason baseball with a pair of Game 3s in the American League Division Series that saw the Blue Jays stave off elimination against the Rangers, and the Astros moving within one win of knocking out the Royals. Here are the top GIFs of the day, courtesy of @MLBGIFs.
1. Gomez bat flips
Carlos Gomez is known for his bat flips, and he doesn't disappoint here after connecting for an RBI single on a sharp liner up the middle.
2. Orbit reacts to strikeout
Astros mascot Orbit had a good seat for this at-bat, but he shows some disappointment when Evan Gattis strikes out.
3. Point the finger
If you didn't know already, Gomez is one of the more animated players on the baseball diamond. And that's a good thing.
4. Fear the beard
Astros ace Dallas Keuchel, a Cy Young Award candidate, strikes out Lorenzo Cain on his final pitch of a solid start that saw him limit the Royals to one run over seven innings.
5. Houston loves Keuchel

Keuchel improved to 16-0 in 19 starts at Minute Maid Park this year, so it's easy to see why he's a crowd favorite.
