Blue Jays Force Game 7 With 6-2 Win Over Mariners

Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s sixth playoff homer plus rookie Trey Yesavage's strong start keep Toronto alive for a shot at a World Series berth against the waiting Dodgers.

Overview

  • The ALCS will be decided Monday night at Rogers Centre after Toronto evened the series 3-3.
  • Guerrero's home run gave him six this postseason, tying José Bautista and Joe Carter for the most by a Blue Jays player in a single playoff run.
  • Yesavage worked 5 2/3 innings with seven strikeouts as Toronto turned three double plays, including back-to-back bases-loaded twin killings unprecedented for ending consecutive innings in a postseason game.
  • Seattle committed three errors that fueled Toronto's scoring and failed to clinch the franchise’s first World Series appearance.
  • The winner advances to face the National League champion Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series starting later this week.
