Overview

• Seattle leads the series 1-0 after Cal Raleigh’s game-tying homer and Jorge Polanco’s two run-scoring singles, with Andrés Muñoz closing the ninth for the save.
• Bryce Miller, working on short rest after Seattle’s 15-inning ALDS clincher, settled down from a first-pitch George Springer homer to deliver six innings of two-hit, one-run ball.
• Toronto’s lineup, which battered the Yankees in the ALDS, managed only one additional hit after the second inning in the opener.
• Game 2 at Rogers Centre features Logan Gilbert for Seattle on short rest against Toronto rookie Trey Yesavage, before the series shifts to Seattle for Game 3.
• The Blue Jays added Max Scherzer and Chris Bassitt to the ALCS roster, with Bassitt available out of the bullpen and Scherzer kept ready for length or a potential start, and outfielder Nathan Lukes is day-to-day with a knee contusion.
