Game 7 Showdown: Mariners and Blue Jays Face Off in High-Stakes Thriller—Who Will Rise?
Seattle has taken two of the three games in Toronto. With their backs against the wall, the Blue Jays were able to escape with a win to push the series to tonight’s clinching game. There is one guy that we probably need to focus on for the series from Toronto – Vlad Guerrero Jr. He has had an outstanding playoffs, hitting almost .500 and blasting six homers. He has homered in each of the three Blue Jays wins, and is just 1 for 9 in the losses. This has been an offensive series with every game, except game 1, going over the total. I think more than anything, that speaks to the quality of the hitting, not necessarily a shot at the pitching. The series truly has been remarkable, though. We had the Mariners take the first two games of the series and the Blue Jays looked dead in the water. They broke out the bats in Games 3 and 4. In Game 5, the Mariners looked like they would fall apart. Their hero, Cal Raleigh, blasted a game-tying homer and then they hit a Grand Slam to take the lead and never looked back. Last night, the  Blue Jays looked like they were searching for more answers, but eventually the offense came to life and they put six runs on the board.
