TORONTO – The Toronto Blue Jays entered the American League Championship Series fully embracing the “Want It All” slogan.
They’ll need to beat the Seattle Mariners tonight and again tomorrow at Rogers Centre for that rallying cry to remain possible.
Despite outhitting the Mariners 44-36 and outscoring them 27-25 over the first five games, the Blue Jays trail the best-of-seven ALCS 3-2.
Despite winning two of three games at T-Mobile Park in Seattle to dig themselves out of a 2-0 hole, the Jays can’t afford another setback if they hope to face the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 2025 World Series.
