The road to the World Series continues tonight, October 12, with Game 1 of the American League Championship Series between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Seattle Mariners.
The Blue Jays punched their ticket to the ALCS last week with a 5-2 victory over the New York Yankees in Game 4 of the ALDS. Today marks the Blue Jays’ first ALCS appearance since 2016.
It took Seattle five games and then some to advance to the ALCS; With the score tied 2-2 at the end of the ninth inning in Game 5, the Mariners took the Detroit Tigers to 15 innings before Jorge Polanco’s walk-off single ended the game. The Mariners are in an even longer ALCS drought; their last performance was in 2001.
