"George Springer hit a go-ahead three-run home run in the seventh inning and the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Seattle Mariners 4-3 on Monday night to advance to their first Major League Baseball (MLB) World Series since 1993. Springer's 23rd career postseason homer helped the Blue Jays win Game 7 of the American League Championship Series. Toronto will face Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series, hosting Game 1 on Friday."
"Bryan Woo walked Addison Barger to open the home seventh, and Isiah Kiner-Falefa grounded a single to centre. Andres Gimenez sacrificed the runners to second and third. Eduard Bazardo (1-1) replaced Woo and faced Springer, who hit his fourth home run of the postseason to left-centre on a 1-0 sinker. Springer tied Kyle Schwarber for third place in career playoff homers, trailing only Manny Ramirez (29) and Jose Altuve (27)."
"The Blue Jays deployed six pitchers in all. After reliever Seranthony Dominguez pitched a perfect sixth for Toronto, Kevin Gausman (2-1) took over in the seventh. Following a walk and a double play, Gausman, usually a starter, intentionally walked Raleigh. Josh Naylor followed with a walk before Jorge Polanco grounded out. Bryan Woo walked Addison Barger to open the home seventh, and Isiah Kiner-Falefa grounded a single to centre."
