Blue Jays look to even up ALCS at 2-2
SEATTLE – The Toronto Blue Jays will look to even up the best-of-seven American League Championship Series Thursday night against the Seattle Mariners.
Toronto thumped Seattle 13-4 on Wednesday to cut its series deficit to 2-1.
The Blue Jays got out of their offensive slump to the tune of 18 hits, five of which were home runs, in the win.
Max Scherzer is set to make his first playoff start in a Toronto uniform, while Seattle goes with fellow right-hander Luis Castillo.
The Mariners, who have never won an American League title, will host Game 5 on Friday. If Games 6 and 7 are necessary, they would be played back in Toronto.
The Blue Jays are making their first ALCS appearance since 2016. Toronto hasn’t reached the World Series since winning a second straight title in 1993.
