"Toronto starter Kevin Gausman who put in a strong performance starting Game 1 is back on the mound again, aiming to nail down a third straight Jays victory at Seattle's T-Mobile Park. Blue Jays manager John Schneider said all members of his bullpen are available to jump into action if Gausman runs into any trouble. "We're in a good spot," he said ahead of the game. "Everyone's available today." Seattle will send Bryce Miller to the mound, as the Mariners try to right the ship."
"Momentum has moved in Toronto's favour over the past two games, as the Blue Jays' offence helped reverse Seattle's two-game lead in the ALCS. Sharp pitching from two veteran starters Shane Bieber and Max Scherzer and solid backup from the bullpen was also key. Toronto racked up 29 hits in the past two games, outscoring Seattle 21-6 over that same stretch."
"The Jays beat Seattle by a score of 8-2 in Thursday's Game 4, powered by a feisty Scherzer. The 41-year-old pitched his first playoff game in a Blue Jays uniform. Toronto's Game 3 victory was a bit more lopsided Wednesday night, when they won 13-4 over Seattle. Seattle won the first two ALCS games at Toronto's Rogers Centre 3-1 in Game 1, and 10-3 in Game 2."
Blue Jays have won consecutive games to tie the ALCS 2-2 and can push the Mariners to the brink of elimination with a Game 5 victory Friday at 6:08 p.m. ET. Kevin Gausman starts for Toronto, aiming for a third straight Blue Jays win at Seattle's T-Mobile Park. All members of Toronto's bullpen are available to enter if needed. Seattle will start Bryce Miller as it seeks to rebound. Toronto's offense produced 29 hits and outscored Seattle 21-6 over the past two games. Veteran starters Shane Bieber and Max Scherzer and bullpen support fueled the recent wins.
