Overview
- Toronto beat Seattle 4-3 in Game 7, taking the lead on George Springer’s three-run homer in the seventh after an Addison Barger walk, an Isiah Kiner-Falefa single and an Andrés Giménez bunt.
- Mariners manager Dan Wilson went to Eduard Bazardo for Springer’s at-bat instead of closer Andrés Muñoz, a bullpen choice widely questioned after the loss.
- The win sends the Blue Jays to their first World Series since 1993, while the Mariners remain without a championship-round appearance in franchise history.
- Game 1 is Friday, Oct. 24 at Rogers Centre, where Toronto holds home-field advantage against the reigning-champion Dodgers.
- Guerrero Jr. was named ALCS MVP for a standout series, and Bo Bichette says he plans to return for Game 1 pending final clearance.
