If the Toronto Blue Jays are going to bounce back, tonight’s the night.
After Toronto lost two at home to the Seattle Mariners, the American League Championship Series heads West for Game 3.
The first matchup at T-Mobile Park isn’t an elimination game, but the stakes couldn’t be much higher. It’s essentially a must-win for the top-seeded Blue Jays; only one team in MLB history has ever come back from trailing a postseason series 3-0. Meanwhile, for the Mariners, it’s a chance to get one victory away from the first World Series appearance in franchise history.
