"Julio Rodriguez's two-run, first-inning homer off Shane Bieber put Seattle ahead and stirred thoughts of a possible sweep in the best-of-seven matchup by a team seeking its first World Series appearance/ Andres Gimenez then sparked the comeback with a tying, two-run homer in a five-run third against George Kirby. Springer, Guerrero, Alejandro Kirk and Addison Barger also went deep as the Blue Jays totaled 2,004 feet of homers among 18 hits."
"No one expected us to win the division, no one expected it us to be here, and I think the guys take that to heart. Blue Jays manager John Schneider said. I said it when we left Toronto: I hope we find some slug in the air out here. Maybe we did. In the 2-3-2 format, teams that lost the first two games at home and won Game 3 on the road have captured the series three of 11 times."
Vladimir Guerrero Jr., George Springer and others powered Toronto's offense as the Blue Jays hit five home runs and compiled 18 hits in a 13-4 victory over Seattle. Julio Rodriguez opened with a two-run homer for the Mariners, but Andres Gimenez's two-run, tying homer in a five-run third sparked Toronto's rally. George Kirby allowed eight runs and took the loss after surrendering early damage. Guerrero collected four hits, falling a triple short of the cycle. The teams combined for a postseason-record-matching eight home runs, and Toronto closed the ALCS to 2-1.
