"It was a exactly the way the Toronto Blue Jays drew it up in Game 6. Get a couple of runs early, have Trey Yesavage establish himself against the Seattle lineup, and let that defence shine. The Blue Jays 6-2 win over the Mariners in Game 6 kept their season alive and forced a Game 7 winner-take-all showdown at Rogers Centre on Monday night. And also, just like they drew it up, it will be Shane Bieber on the mound to start for Toronto."
"He's already done it once this postseason, but Bieber is going to be asked to be the hero for a second time in less than a week for the Blue Jays. At this point, it's hard to argue against him. In Game 3 with the Blue Jays down 2-0 in the series, Bieber was outstanding. After giving up an early two-run home run Bieber settled in and allowed just four hits over six innings while striking out eight Mariners hitters."
"He kept them in the game and allowed the offense to come out and do their thing, giving him plenty of support after a five run third inning and adding runs in each of the fourth, fifth and sixth innings as well. When Bieber came out of the game, the Blue Jays were comfortably ahead 13-2 and had established that this wasn't going to be a cake walk of a series for the Mariners."
The Toronto Blue Jays won Game 6, 6-2, using early runs, Trey Yesavage's strong showing, and solid defense to keep their season alive and force Game 7. Shane Bieber is scheduled to start Game 7 after earlier postseason success. Bieber settled after allowing an early two-run homer in Game 3, then allowed four hits over six innings while striking out eight, enabling a five-run third inning and additional scoring in later innings. The Blue Jays have largely outplayed the Mariners since Game 3, aside from one five-run inning in Game 5. Game 7 resets momentum, with each team facing 27 outs and high stakes.
