TORONTO -- Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit his sixth home run of the postseason, rookie Trey Yesavage struck out seven in 5 2/3 innings and the Toronto Blue Jays forced a Game 7 in the American League Championship Series by beating the Seattle Mariners 6-2 on Sunday night. The series will be decided Monday night in Toronto, the second Game 7 in Blue Jays history. Toronto lost to Kansas City in the 1985 ALCS. Seattle, the only big league team without a pennant, will play in a postseason Game 7 for the first time. The winner faces the NL champion Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series beginning Friday.

So, uh, there was no playoff game yesterday. Despite what you read here from yours truly, Game 6 of the ALCS is tonight instead of last night. Whoops! That's my bad and apologies to y'all for being goofy online once again. Here's a random clip as an apology. Anyways, the Mariners will be looking to close this thing out and go to their first-ever World

Both Championship Series will be in action this weekend, as the Blue Jays will be hoping to head to Seattle with a split against the Mariners, while the Brewers will be looking to assert dominance with home field advantage against the Dodgers. Trey Yesavage set the baseball world on fire after he managed to keep the Yankees extremely quiet during his Postseason debut.

After a blowout 10-1 win in Game 1 on Saturday, Bieber's wife, Kara Maxine, showed support for the team and husband by wearing a Blue Jays jersey with the All-Star pitcher's number for Game 2 at Rogers Centre. In one of her Instagram stories from the game on Sunday, Kara posed alongside other Blue Jays players' partners in coordinated dress. Fellow pitcher Kevin Gausman's wife Taylor stood next to Kara in a picture shared by her on Instagram.

In the bottom of the fourth Yesavage struck out Josh Lowe, Jake Mangum, and Nick Fortes in order. He threw a splitter, a four-seam fastball and a slider to dispose of Lowe. Mangum then looked at a four-seam fastball, before swinging and missing at back-to-back splitters - which was Yesavage's best pitch on the evening.

The 22-year old has climbed four levels of minor league ball just this season after being drafted 20th overall a year ago. Bowden says, "Yesavage is a beast on the mound with a bulldog mentality. The Jays' 2024 first-round pick profiles as a mid-rotation starter who misses bats at a high level. He uses a short arm action to challenge hitters with a mid-90s fastball, a wipeout split-finger fastball and a solid, but inconsistent slider."

Trey Yesavage, a first-round pick, began his season strongly in A Dunedin, overpowering teen hitters and showcasing significant strikeout capabilities.
