ARLINGTON -- The customers who booed Toronto's Jose "Joey Bats" Bautista on Thursday at Globe Life Park had company.

Bautista's teammates joined in, kiddingly adding their own catcalls.

"It was fun," shortstop Troy Tulowitzki said. "We knew 'Bats' was going to get booed. We were excited for it. We had fun with it. We were trying to boo him all day as well."

Bautista added another chapter to his rivalry with the Rangers by driving in four runs with a single and a homer during a 10-1 win in the opener of the American League Division Series.

"To hit a home run in front of a crowd that loves to hate him, I felt good for him," catcher Russell Martin said. "We were talking about what is the best kind of revenge. Revenge is the best revenge."

For those keeping score, Bautista holds a 2-1 lead on the Rangers.

Bautista had the game-winning homer in the finale of last year's ALDS against the Rangers, throwing in the epic bat flip for good measure. The Rangers responded May 15 when second baseman Rougned Odor rocked Bautista with a punch after his illegal slide.

Before this game, Bautista refused to address what happened with Odor and the Rangers.

"I wanted to avoid all the questions about the whole ordeal because we're baseball players, not UFC fighters," Bautista said. "We come here to play ballgames."

Bautista drove in a run with a single off struggling starter Cole Hamels in the five-run third inning. His grand moment came in the ninth, with the game already decided. Bautista homered deep to left on a 95-mph fastball from reliever Jake Diekman.

There was no bat flip this time. Bautista gently laid his stick near the plate, as if he were returning a piece of fine China to a storage spot.

"I have a couple of home runs in my career, and I think I've only flipped [the bat] once," Bautista said. "Most of the time, I do that. It's been blown out of proportion because of what happened last year."

Toronto took the crowd out of the game in the third. The Blue Jays said that even from the start, the bile directed their way was not a concern. They are used to playing in hostile environments.

Toronto got into the playoffs by winning the final two games of the regular season at Boston, spoiling the farewell weekend for David Ortiz. Toronto has won three consecutive ALDS games in this park. In their history, the Rangers are 1-10 in ALDS home games.

"What we got here, this is not something we're not used to," center fielder Kevin Pillar said. "We thrive on the negative toward us. "

Toronto starter Marco Estrada controlled the Rangers from the start, when leadoff hitter Carlos Gomez took a full-count curveball for a called strike. Estrada, using changeups and 88-mph fastballs, did not allow a runner past first base until the ninth.

"He made my job easy," Martin said. "He hits spots like no other."

In two postseason games this week, the Jays' starters have allowed two runs in 141/3 innings. The top two starters are set to work the next two games: left-hander J.A. Happ, a 20-game winner; and right-hander Aaron Sanchez, the league ERA champion. Happ and Sanchez will follow the finesse of Estrada with power.

"They all make me look good," Martin said of the rotation. "And they all do it in a different way."

That will silence the home crowd as quickly as a "Joey Bats" homer.
