Francisco Lindor has gotten off to an impressive start in the American League Championship Series.

After his two-run home run helped give Cleveland a win in its series opener, Lindor continued where he left off in Game 2, this time flashing his exceptional defensive skills by robbing Blue Jays outfielder Jose Bautista of a hit.

The 22-year-old's all-around play has helped lead Cleveland's recent 4-game postseason win streak, as he entered Saturday hitting .313/.313/.750. His defensive rating of 27.8 during the regular season was second best in the majors.
