"For our fans, they've waiting a long time for this moment and we're here to give it to them. We're here to fight for a World Series, Suarez said."
"Obviously, this is the biggest home run of my career, Suarez said."
"I've been waiting for this for a long time, Suarez said. It's been a while (since) I've had a game like this today. It was awesome being to hit that grand slam there to give the win to my team, to the fans. They've been here supporting us all year long."
Eugenio Suarez delivered a go-ahead grand slam in the eighth inning after Cal Raleigh tied the game with a leadoff homer, producing a 6-2 Seattle win and a 3-2 ALCS lead. Suarez also homered in the second inning for Seattle's first run. Raleigh, batting right-handed for the first time in the series, pulled a 2-0 changeup for a 348-foot homer that had 6.7 seconds of hang time. After walks to Jorge Polanco and Josh Naylor and a hit-by-pitch to Randy Arozarena, Suarez hit an opposite-field grand slam to seal the victory. Seattle became the first home team to win in the series and moved within one win of its first World Series trip.
