"The Blue Jays and Seattle Mariners will battle for a World Series berth in Toronto's Rogers Centre, in a high-stakes Game 7 of the American League Series Championship (ALCS) on Monday night. Toronto clawed its way back from an 0-2 deficit in the first two games of the best-of-seven ALCS, eventually tying the series and forcing Game 7 tonight. The do-or-die game gets underway just after 8 p.m. ET at Rogers Centre."
"Starting pitcher Shane Bieber, who won a prior ALCS start for Toronto in Game 3, gets the ball for the Blue Jays. Bieber is a Cy Young Award winner who Toronto traded for in July with an eye to having him pitch in big games like tonight's Game 7. The Mariners will turn to George Kirby, the Seattle starter who Toronto hammered for eight earned runs in that same Game 3 that the Blue Jays won by an eventual score of 13-4."
The Blue Jays and Seattle Mariners meet in Game 7 of the American League Championship Series at Toronto's Rogers Centre with the winner advancing to the World Series. Toronto rallied from an 0-2 deficit to tie the series and force a decisive seventh game. The game begins just after 8 p.m. ET. John Schneider said clinching in front of a home crowd is "everything that we play for and everything that our fans deserve." Shane Bieber will start for Toronto; he won Game 3 and was acquired in July as a Cy Young Award winner expected to pitch in big games. Seattle will start George Kirby, who surrendered eight earned runs in Game 3. Mariners manager Dan Wilson called the chance "incredible" and expressed confidence in the team's ability to handle high-pressure, season-ending moments.
