"Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit his sixth home run this postseason, rookie Trey Yesavage struck out seven in 5-2/3 innings and the Toronto Blue Jays pushed the American League Championship Series to the limit by beating the sloppy Seattle Mariners 6-2 on Sunday night. The AL pennant will be decided Monday night in Toronto, the second Game 7 in Blue Jays history. Toronto lost to Kansas City in the 1985 ALCS."
"Got to enjoy it, man. This is what we sign up for, Blue Jays manager John Schneider said. It's special and unique, but you have to look at it as a game. For one famous baseball family, it will also be a first. Guerrero's father, Hall of Fame outfielder Vladimir Guerrero, never played in a postseason Game 7 during his 16-year career."
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit his sixth home run this postseason as the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Seattle Mariners 6-2 to force a Game 7 in the American League Championship Series. Rookie Trey Yesavage struck out seven in 5-2/3 innings while inducing three double plays behind his pitching, including consecutive bases-loaded, inning-ending double plays. Addison Barger homered and drove in three early runs. Toronto capitalized on Seattle's season-high three errors, turning mistakes into runs. Guerrero's sixth postseason homer tied him with Jose Bautista and Joe Carter for the most in Blue Jays history. The AL pennant will be decided in Toronto Monday night.
