The way that the Mariners won ALCS Game 2, and more so, the timing of it -- which allows them to re-set their entire pitching staff -- puts them in prime position as this series shifts to Seattle. “You want to give those guys a break.” https://t.co/uiqOJrKyHn

George Kirby went to his slider at a higher usage than any career start his last time out, a deliberate adjustment that could help him in ALCS Game 3. "To give them a different look and then kind of use my heater off the offspeed was super helpful." https://t.co/8YobVg9rgC

Cal Raleigh is up to 739 plate appearances this season and has been behind the plate for 1,142 innings. A look at one key factor that could be helping his durability, from @mike_petriello... https://t.co/oJkjESvGNU

Jorge Polanco again broke through late, but it was Julio Rodríguez who emphatically put the Mariners on the board here in ALCS Game 2. "It feels good, but like I said, it's one game at a time, and that's kind of our mentality." https://t.co/YH157P3cxX

J.P. Crawford on going back to Seattle: “Hope we keep all the games under nine innings.”

If the Mariners wind up winning the whole thing, Jorge Polanco is well on his way to approaching statue territory. His heroics tonight in the Mariners' ALCS Game 2 victory have them two wins away from that elusive Fall Classic. https://t.co/FdREYgMhf6

FINAL: Mariners 10 , Blue Jays 3 In postseason history, teams taking a 2-0 lead in any best-of-seven series have gone on to win that series 78 of 93 times. In series with the current 2-3-2 format, teams winning both Games 1 and 2 on the road have prevailed 23 of 28 times.

After Emerson Hancock issued a leadoff walk here in the bottom of the 9th inning, Dan Wilson has Andrés Muñoz warming while the Mariners are clinging to a 10-3 lead.

The Mariners are now up 10-3 here in the 7th inning, after J.P. Crawford hits a one-out sac fly with the bases loaded to score Eugenio Suárez.

Josh Naylor, welcome home 🇨🇦 The native of Mississauga, about 15 miles from Rogers Centre, crushes his first homer of these playoffs -- and with some newfound Dad Strength.

Jorge Polanco, home-run hack here in ALCS Game 2. Short, quick, balanced, athletic -- and explosive ... On time for a 98.1 mph fastball at the bottom of the zone in a 1-1 count.

J.P. Crawford throws his hands at a sweeper well off the plate from Mason Fluharty for a left-on-left, bloop single. And that’ll score Leo Rivas, who pinch-ran for Mitch Garver. And the Mariners take a 7-3 lead with one out here in the 6th inning.

Per Statcast, Mitch Garver's triple off the fence just now was blown in by 2 feet and pushed 1 foot left, preventing a home run ... In calm conditions, the ball would've crossed about 1.5 feet above the fence.

Mitch Garver, triple alert. His second of the season, and like the other (on Sept. 7 in Atlanta), off the wall as the center fielder was attempting to make a leaping catch.

Josh Naylor, who needed to be examined by the Mariners’ athletic trainers after discomfort in his most recent at-bat, just made a stabbing stop for the first out here in the 5th inning.

From the great @SlangsOnSports... Most go-ahead plate appearances in a single postseason, Mariners history: ➡️2025 Jorge Polanco: 4 1995 Ken Griffey Jr.: 4 2000 Alex Rodriguez: 3

Jorge Polanco, another epic October moment. It’s a three-run homer that just barely clears the right-center wall here in the 5th inning -- and silences this crowd here in Toronto.

Cal Raleigh in some visible discomfort after a remarkable putout on a swinging bunt attempt, when he crashed to the turf on the follow-through of his throw. He’ll remain in this game, after being examined by head athletic trainer Kyle Torgerson.

Logan Gilbert’s day is indeed done as the Mariners move to the bottom of the 4th inning. He was charged three runs on five hits and one walk. His spin and velocity were notably down, he and was mostly over the plate or nowhere near it.

And now Eduard Bazardo is warming in the Mariners’ bullpen here in the top of the 4th inning.
