Blue Jays to host Mariners in wild-card series

tsn.ca

The Toronto Blue Jays' first foe in the playoffs is now official. Toronto is slated to take on the Seattle Mariners in the American League wild-card round.

The series will lead off Friday at Rogers Centre. The Seattle Mariners defeated the Detroit Tigers 7-6 in 10 innings, and stamped their trip to Toronto when the Boston Red Sox tripped the Tampa Bay Rays 6-0 in a game called after five innings because of rain.

Having clinched the top spot in the wild card, the Blue Jays will have home-field advantage against one of the two teams they had been battling against late in the regular season for the edge.

It is just the second time in six seasons Toronto has made the playoffs. The team's last appearance in the post-season was in 2020 where it got swept in the wild-card round by the Tampa Bay Rays, who will enter these playoffs as the third wild-card seed.
