George Kirby and the Seattle Mariners outlasted the Detroit Tigers to make the ALCS last week. On Sunday, they began the ALCS against the Toronto Blue Jays , falling down 1-0. However, since the fifth inning of Game 1, they had complete control. Unfortunately, that control unraveled on Wednesday night in Game 3.
Kirby took the ball for Game 3 , and he did not perform well. He pitched just four innings, allowing eight runs on eight hits while striking out just four batters. In the end, the Blue Jays stormed their way to an emphatic victory. They won 13-4 to pull within a game of tying the ALCS.
After the game, Kirby faced the media. The Mariners star fielded questions on what went wrong on the mound. And he zeroed in on a specific area where he failed to produce on Wednesday night.
