Toronto Blue Jays take down Seattle Mariners, force ALCS Game 7

The Toronto Blue Jays not only got the big hits, but they also made the key fielding plays Sunday night to force Game 7 in the American League Championship Series (ALCS).

Addison Barger hit a two-run homer and had three RBIs and Vladimir Guerrero, Jr. added a solo shot as the Blue Jays defeated the Seattle Mariners 6-2 in Game 6.

The decisive game will be played Monday night in Toronto.

Josh Naylor homered for the Mariners, who have never won an AL pennant.

There also was a difference defensively. Toronto turned three double plays, two with the bases loaded. The Mariners committed three errors.

"You've got to enjoy it, this is what you sign up for," Toronto manager John Schneider said. "Whenever you can play for a Game 7 to go to the World Series, it sounds cool to say. It's special and unique... I wish we were playing right now."

The Mariners could not ride the momentum from their comeback 6-2 win in Game 5.

"This is a team that has bounced back all season and this is a chance to do it again," Mariners manager Dan Wilson said.

Seattle committed two errors to help Toronto take a 2-0 lead in the second against Logan Gilbert (1-1).
