Toronto Blue Jays Force ALCS Game 7 Against Seattle Mariners

The Toronto Blue Jays forced a decisive Game 7 in the 2025 American League Championship Series by defeating the Seattle Mariners 6-2 in Game 6. Rookie pitcher Trey Yesavage delivered a strong performance, striking out seven over 5.2 innings and helping the Blue Jays induce consecutive bases-loaded double plays, a rare postseason feat. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit his sixth postseason home run, setting a new Blue Jays playoff record, while Addison Barger contributed a key two-run homer and drove in three runs. The Blue Jays capitalized on Seattle's defensive errors and overcame the Mariners' late two-run rally to secure the win. Toronto enters Game 7 as slight favorites to advance to the World Series, where they would face the NL champion Los Angeles Dodgers. Notably, Seattle is playing in its first postseason Game 7, while the Blue Jays are appearing in their first in 40 years.
