The ALCS action continues on Monday with Game 2. The Mariners took Game 1 from the Blue Jays, 3-1, thanks to a stellar pitching performance from Bryce Miller (6 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 3 BB, 3 K). Cal Raleigh came through with another clutch solo homer, while Jorge Polanco notched two RBIs for the Mariners. The lone run for the Blue Jays came when George Springer took Miller deep on the first pitch he saw.

Seattle sends Logan Gilbert to the mound for Game 2. In an abbreviated 25 starts this season (he spent time on the injured list with a right elbow flexor strain), he posted a 6-6 record with a 3.44 ERA. Gilbert struck out 173 batters, and hitters mustered a .211 average against the 28-year-old. This postseason, Gilbert has been divine, striking out nine in two appearances. He made his first-ever relief appearance in Game 5 of the NLDS, where he pitched two scoreless innings to help secure a Mariners victory.

In his one appearance against the Blue Jays this season, Gilbert went seven innings and allowed two runs on seven hits while punching out nine.

The Blue Jays look to even the series with rookie Trey Yesavage on the mound. The 22-year-old flamethrower made his MLB debut in mid-September but has had a postseason for the ages. In his one start against the Yankees in the ALDS, Yesavage held the Yanks hitless in his five ⅓ innings of work. He struck out 11 batters and allowed just one walk. In his three regular-season starts, Yesavage allowed 13 hits (five runs) in 14 innings of work and posted a 3.21 ERA with 16 strikeouts.

Those three games came against the Rays (two) and the Royals, so the Mariners will get their first look at Yesavage in Game 2.
