Blue Jays Bats Go Nuclear

Toronto’s offence, quiet in Games 1 and 2, absolutely erupted in the third inning.

Andrés Giménez — who only hit seven homers all regular season — sparked the rally with a two-run shot, earning the honor of wearing the Jays’ post-season home run jacket.

Manager John Schneider called it “a big swing” — and he wasn’t kidding.

By the end of the third, the Jays had put up five runs, including a two-run double from Daulton Varsho and another score on a wild pitch.

Then came the fireworks:

  • George Springer launched a solo shot in the fourth (his second of the series).

  • Vladimir Guerrero Jr. followed with a homer of his own in the fifth.

  • Alejandro Kirk went deep for a three-run blast in the sixth.

  • And to top it off, Addison Barger crushed one in the ninth.

When the dust settled, Toronto had hit five home runs and racked up 13 total runs — the kind of offensive statement this team needed.


⚾ Mariners Try to Answer, But It’s Too Late

Seattle added two late homers in the eighth from Randy Arozarena and Cal Raleigh, but it was far too little, too late.

Even Mariners manager Dan Wilson tipped his cap, saying, “This is a team that has swung the bat well all year, and they didn’t miss much tonight.”


🔵 Jays Still Have Work to Do

Despite the win, the Mariners still lead the series 2–1. Toronto needs three more victories to punch its ticket to the World Series — something the team hasn’t done since 1993.

Game 4 goes down Thursday night in Seattle. First pitch: 8:30 p.m. ET.

If the Jays keep this same energy — and the bats stay as hot as they were in Game 3 — things could get very interesting.
