Julio Rodriguez and Jorge Polanco each smashed three-run home runs to power Seattle over Toronto 10-3 on Monday, grabbing a 2-0 lead in their Major League Baseball playoff series.

The Mariners are halfway to winning the best-of-seven American League Championship Series, which continues on Wednesday in Seattle, and reaching their first World Series.

“I expect a lot of noise from the fans,” Polanco said. “They will bring a lot of energy for us. We’ll just keep competing.”

The AL champion will meet the National League champion, either the Milwaukee Brewers or defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers, in the best-of-seven final, which begins October 24.

The Blue Jays, in their first ALCS since 2016, won their only World Series appearances in 1992 and 1993.
