Blue Jays tie ALCS with 8-2 win over Mariners in Game 4
- On Thursday, the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Seattle Mariners 8-2 in Game 4 at T-Mobile Park, Seattle, tying the ALCS at 2-2 and sending the series back to Toronto.
- Huge homers by Andrés Giménez and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. powered Toronto’s offense; Giménez, acquired by Toronto in an off-season trade, hadn’t homered in his previous 23 postseason contests.
- Toronto’s lineup continued to work Luis Castillo, Mariners starter, as Nathan Lukes and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit back-to-back singles and Alejandro Kirk drew a seven-pitch walk to load the bases before Castillo was chased.
- In a seven-game series, the Seattle Mariners must win four games to advance to the World Series, and their Game 4 loss follows a 13-4 home defeat on Wednesday.
- Toronto’s offense added two fourth-inning homers to build separation, highlighting lineup depth after Giménez’s three homers early and two late August homers at Rogers Centre.
