TORONTO – The Toronto Blue Jays entered the American League Championship Series fully committed to the slogan “I Want It All.”
They'll need to beat the Seattle Mariners tonight and again tomorrow at Rogers Center for that rallying cry to remain possible.
Despite outscoring the Mariners 44-36 and outscoring them 27-25 in their first five games, the Blue Jays trail the best of seven ALCS 3-2.
Despite winning two of three games at T-Mobile Park in Seattle to climb out of a 2-0 hole, the Jays can't afford another setback if they hope to face the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 2025 World Series.
Blue Jays rookie right-hander Trey Yesavage will be on the mound tonight. He allowed five runs in four innings as Toronto lost 10-3 to the Mariners in Game 2 on Monday.
Right-hander Logan Gilbert, Seattle's first-round pick in the 2018 MLB Draft, will start for the Mariners and is looking to lead his team to its first World Series appearance in franchise history.
Seattle won 3-1 and 10-3 in the first two games in Toronto, while the Jays won 13-4 and 8-2 before losing Game 5 6-2, a game in which they led 2-1 going into the eighth inning.
