The Toronto Blue Jays will look to bounce back in Game 2 of the ALCS after dropping the opener to the Seattle Mariners at Rogers Centre. The Mariners took a 3-1 win on Sunday night to grab a crucial 1-0 series lead.

It was a frustrating start for the Blue Jays, who came into the game with extra rest. They jumped ahead on George Springer’s leadoff homer before going quiet for the rest of the night. Bryce Miller settled in and shut down Toronto’s lineup, while Cal Raleigh and Jorge Polanco provided key hits for the Mariners. Kevin Gausman pitched well for the Jays but was lifted after just 5 2/3 innings and 76 pitches, a decision that raised eyebrows considering how sharp he looked.

For Seattle, the bullpen was once again dominant, combining for three scoreless innings to close things out.
