VARIOUS OF BLUE JAYS' PLAYERS CELEBRATING 8-2 WIN STORY: Max Scherzer pitched 5 2/3 innings for his first postseason win since 2019 as the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Seattle Mariners 8-2 on Thursday (October 16), levelling the American League Championship Series at 2-2. Andres Gimenez and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. homered for the second consecutive game, while Gimenez drove in four runs as Toronto secured its second straight road win after dropping the first two games at home. Isiah Kiner-Falefa, Ernie Clement, and Gimenez each contributed two hits to the Blue Jays' total of 11. Scherzer (1-0), making his first appearance since September 24 due to a neck injury, allowed two runs on three hits, walked four, and struck out five in the 500th start of his career. Luis Castillo (1-1) lasted just 2 1/3 innings for Seattle, yielding three runs on five hits and a walk. The Blue Jays took control after falling behind early, responding to Josh Naylor's leadoff homer in the second inning with a three-run third. Gimenez's two-run homer and Daulton Varsho's bases-loaded walk off reliever Gabe Speier put Toronto ahead 3-1. The Blue Jays added two more runs in the fourth, including George Springer's RBI double and a wild pitch. Seattle managed a run in the sixth, but Guerrero's solo home run in the seventh and Gimenez's two-run single in the eighth solidified Toronto's victory. The Mariners finished with five hits, including Naylor's homer and a run-scoring single from Eugenio Suarez. Game five of the best-of-seven series is scheduled for Friday in Seattle.
