Last Night in Baseball: The Mariners Crushed Blue Jays, the Dodgers Barely Won
Having a tough time following along with the MLB postseason? Just want to relive the best moments?
Don't worry, we're here to help you by figuring out what you missed but shouldn't have. Here are all the best moments from last night in Major League Baseball:
A whole lot could change in the American League Championship Series, but through two games, the Blue Jays are in trouble. The Mariners won the first two games of the series, and are now two more victories away from reaching the franchise’s first-ever World Series.
Things went sideways for Toronto out of the gate. The first batter of the game, Randy Arozarena, was hit by a pitch, then Cal Raleigh walked. Rookie Trey Yesavage did not correct whatever was wrong with him in time, as the next batter, Julio Rodriguez, hit a 3-run homer, giving Seattle a lead before the Jays could record an out.
Toronto would get two runs back in the bottom of the inning, thanks to RBI singles from Nathan Lukes and Alejandro Kirk, and then Lukes would single in another run in the second to tie things up. The problem for Toronto is that their offense stopped there — it was all Seattle the rest of the way.
Jorge Polanco came up in the top of the fifth with Arozarena and Raleigh on base again, and hit his own 3-run dinger, giving the Mariners a 6-3 lead.
In the sixth, J.P. Crawford would add on with an RBI single, and then Josh Naylor put a charge into one in the seventh to score Polanco — Naylor’s first homer of the postseason.
Crawford would add a sac fly to make it an even 10 runs, and the Mariners would cruise to a 10-3 victory and 2-0 ALCS lead. The series will now shift to Seattle, where George Kirby will start for the Mariners against trade deadline acquisition and former Cy Young
