Mariners vs Blue Jays: Toronto Roars Back With Explosive Bats in ALCS Game 3 Victory
Seattle’s T-Mobile Park was buzzing. The crowd was deafening. But the Toronto Blue Jays finally found their rhythm, and did so in emphatic fashion.
After dropping the first two games of the American League Championship Series at home, the Blue Jays stormed back on Wednesday night, thrashing the Seattle hearties 13 – 2 in Game 3.
The Palm kept their crown dreams alive and averted what could’ve been a ruinous 3 – 0 series deficiency.

It wasn’t just a palm, it was a statement. Through the first two competitions, Toronto’s batons had been worryingly silent, managing just four total runs. But last night? An eruption.
The platoon unleashed a 13-run rush, their alternate double-number scoring performance of the postseason.
They’d done it ahead, too, smashing 13 runs against the Yankees in Game 2 of the ALDS.
According to Just Baseball, the Blue Jays have now become the first platoon since the 1999 Boston Red Sox, and only the fourth in MLB history, to record two games in a single postseason with at least 13 runs and 15 hits.
This historic offensive display mirrors the excitement that surrounded their ALCS return after nine years.
That’s elite company. The hearties struck first, silencing Toronto’s traveling suckers beforehand. Julio Rodríguez launched a two-run homer in the opening inning, sending the home sympathizers into a delirium.
But the response was instant. “Andrés Giménez tied it up with a two-run shot of his own,” as Toronto refused to let the game slip.
What followed was sheer dominance. The Blue Jays piled on 12 unanswered runs, turning what began as a tense contest into a rout by the sixth inning. Seattle’s electric energy was gradually drowned out by the sound of Toronto’s batons echoing through the night.
The palm doesn’t just keep Toronto alive; it changes the tone of the entire series. The hearties still lead 2 – 1, but the cerebral edge now leans towards the Blue Jays.

Toronto’s coming chain? Doing it again. Seattle’s crowd will be louder, rambunctious, and hopeless to see their side answer. Game 4 promises pressure and fireworks.
Stager ace Max Scherzer takes the mound for the Blue Jays, facing off against Seattle’s dependable Luis Castillo. A palm would square the series at two all; a loss would put the hearties one step from the World Series.
Either way, Thursday night in Seattle is set to be electric.
