Overview
- Toronto erased a 3-1 deficit in Game 7 when George Springer hit a three-run homer in the seventh, the first go-ahead Game 7 home run ever when trailing by multiple runs that late.
- Shane Bieber allowed two runs over 3 2/3 innings before a bullpen relay of Kevin Gausman (win), Chris Bassitt and Jeff Hoffman (a perfect ninth for his second postseason save) closed it out.
- Seattle started George Kirby, who gave up one run in four innings, and led on homers by Julio Rodríguez and Cal Raleigh before reliever Bryan Woo and Eduard Bazardo yielded the decisive rally.
- Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who tied the club’s single-postseason home run record earlier in the series, was named ALCS MVP as Toronto clinched the pennant.
- The Mariners remain without a pennant as the Blue Jays advance to face the Dodgers in a World Series opener set for Friday at Rogers Centre.
