Overview

• Seattle leads 2-0 after 3-1 and 10-3 wins in Toronto, with the series shifting to T-Mobile Park for Games 3–5.
• Game 3 is scheduled for 8:08 p.m. ET on FS1 with Shane Bieber starting for Toronto against Seattle’s George Kirby.
• The Mariners’ pitching has held up after an exhausting ALDS, with Bryce Miller sharp in Game 1 and the bullpen logging nine scoreless innings in Game 2.
• Toronto’s offense has managed four runs and has not scored after the second inning in either game, while late relief lapses have extended deficits.
• Only three of 27 teams have recovered after losing the first two home games in a 2-3-2 series, and Toronto plans Max Scherzer for Game 4 to try to shift momentum.
