Blue Jays to take on Mariners in wild-card round of post-season

cbc.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.

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.

The last time the Blue Jays made it to "October baseball" before then was in 2016 when the team made it to the AL Championship Series for the second consecutive season.
