Los Toronto Blue Jays they entrusted themselves to the veteran Max Scherzer to achieve tonight in Seattle their second victory and reverse the beating that the Mariners in order to achieve the first World Series of its history. The turbulent start that put the pupils of Dan Wilson with the home run Josh Naylor at the bottom of the second episode; The Toronto offensive soon recomposed the path.
It was not a placid beginning. The opener Luis Castillo put out, in order of circulation, George Springer, Nathan Lukes y Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Kershawfor his part, who made history this afternoon by opening one more postseason game with a sixth different team, walked Cal Raleigh y Julio Rodríguezbut it came out well due to the work of Clement y Gimenez.

The fourth episode did not start calmly for Seattle. Kiner-Feel He reached base with a hit and was advanced by Giménez with a sacrifice bunt; A double by Springer was enough to advance Isiah and make it 4-1. A grounder by Lukes advanced Springer to third base and, faced with an errant pitch from the new pitcher, Matt BrashGeorge advanced to the plate. The issue was 5 to 1 with no improvements for Seattle, which suffered today with its bullpen rotation. Nothing better in the bottom half for the Mariners, as Kershaw struck out Rodríguez and Suárez and Polanco retired with a fly ball to the outfield. Addison Barger.
Randy Arozarena retired very early
By the fifth inning Brash contained Kirk, Varsho and Clement with little effort and Seattle was able to breathe briefly with the offense.

Crawford and Rivas put themselves out of circulation with a fly ball and a line drive to the outfield, while the Cuban-Mexican Randy Arozarenatoday without the power of the last game, was retired by strikeout.
The end of the last third brought with it Carlos Vargas as a substitute, and did his thing to, despite receiving double from Barger, in order he retired Kiner-Falefa, Giménez and Springer. Kershaw would not be fired well after his outburst with his coach, since he inherited Polanco based on the entry of Mason Fluharty, who, after walking Polanco, received an RBI single from Suárez. The score was 5 to 2 in favor of Toronto.
The seventh inning began in apparent calm for Eduard Bazardo, as a ground ball put out Nathan Lukes. However, Toronto Blue Jays star Guerrero Jr. went over the wall to extend the lead again.

Louis Varland, Fluharty’s successor, closed the seventh episode with exemplary work by retiring Canzone, Crawford and Rivas in order.
Andrés Giménez finished the races for Blue Jays
I wasn’t lying Mickey Mantle stating that nothing has ever been as fun as baseball. Between changes, despite the little materialization on the board, the eighth inning was an example of that fun. Once again Andrés Giménez hit a two-run single to end the night’s runs; Vladimir Guerrero Jr. looked for the home run, but his fly ball stayed in the glove of Dominic Canzone. The change of Jeff Hoffman for Varland worked to close the episode. In order he put Arozarena, Reigh and Rodríguez out of circulation, the first and the third by way of strikeout.
