It all comes down to this! The Blue Jays beat the Mariners 6-2 on Sunday night to tie the ALCS and force a Game 7. The winner will face the Dodgers in the World Series. Rookie Trey Yesavage earned the win for Toronto, pitching 5 ⅔ innings and striking out seven. The Blue Jays’ defense helped him out in three consecutive innings with three inning-ending double plays. Addison Barger was front and center for Toronto’s offense, going 2-for-3 with a two-run homer, while Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit his sixth homer of the postseason.
The Blue Jays look to make their first World Series appearance since 1993, when they last won. Meanwhile, the Mariners look to secure their first-ever AL Pennant and trip to the Fall Classic.

It’ll be a Game 3 rematch as Shane Bieber takes the mound for Toronto. Bieber went six innings in Game 3, giving up two runs on four hits while walking one and striking out eight. Julio Rodríguez tagged the 30-year-old with a two-run homer in the first inning, but it was smooth sailing after that.

His second postseason appearance, where he faced the Blue Jays, went better than his first against the Yankees, where he lasted only 2 ⅔ innings after giving up five hits and three runs (two earned) on 54 pitches.
