Seattle Mariners give up 18 hits as Blue Jays swing early in count to close in ALCS
The Toronto Blue Jays had 18 hits, including five home runs, all within the first three pitches of an at-bat in a 13-4 rout of the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday night that pulled them to 2-1 in the AL Championship Series.
George Kirby was in the strike zone — perhaps too much. Eight of those hits came off Kirby, who hadn't yielded that many hits in a start since Sept.
“I’m never going to stray away from what I do well, and that’s get ahead and be in the zone,” Kirby said. “And they had a lot of comfortable at-bats tonight.”
- Kirby gave up a tying, two-run homer to Andrés Giménez in a five-run third on an inside fastball.
- Kirby also gave up a two-run double to Daulton Varsho on an up fastball.
- George Springer homered on a sinker in the fourth.
- Vladimir Guerrero Jr. also homered.
