TORONTO – George Springer put Toronto ahead with three runs in the seventh inning and the Toronto Blue Jays advanced to the World Series for the first time since 1993 by defeating the Seattle Mariners 4-3 in Game 7 of the American League Championship Series on Monday night.
It was the first go-ahead signal in Game 7 history when a team trailed by multiple runs in the seventh inning or later.
The Blue Jays will host Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 1 on Friday night when the World Series comes to Canada for the third time. The defending champion Dodgers swept Milwaukee in the NLCS.
