For the first time this postseason, the Toronto Blue Jays are facing elimination as the ALCS moves back to their home field.
Tied 2-2 going into Friday night’s Game 5, the Seattle Mariners pulled ahead for an eventual 6-2 victory. Early on, it looked like it could be anyone’s game, but a five-run eighth inning — with a homer from Cal Raleigh and a Eugenio Suarez grand slam — ensured the Mariners victory and put them one win away from a franchise first World Series appearance.
The Blue Jays, who had the best home record in the American League during the regular season, will now have a chance to tie the series back up at home.
“I’d say we’re in a great spot,” said Toronto’s Ernie Clement after Game 5. “We’ve got a chance. That’s all we need.”
