The Seattle Mariners and Toronto Blue Jays meet today at Rogers Centre for Game 2 of the 2025 American League Championship Series.

After taking the first two games of the series in Toronto, the Mariners are now just two wins away from their first World Series appearance in franchise history — and they can clinch it at home in Seattle.

In Game 1, George Springer opened with a leadoff homer, but Cal Raleigh tied it in the sixth and Jorge Polanco knocked in the go-ahead runs. The Mariners’ bullpen — Speier, Brash, and Muñoz — closed out the game without surrendering a hit in the final frames.

Game 2 was more emphatic: Julio Rodríguez’s three-run shot in the top of the first got Seattle going, Polanco later added a three-run homer of his own, and Josh Naylor hit a late two-run blast in a 10–3 win that put the Blue Jays closer to the brink.

Tonight’s matchup sets George Kirby against Shane Bieber. Kirby has been sharp this postseason, allowing just two runs across his first 10 innings while showing pinpoint command.

Bieber, meanwhile, is looking to rebound after a rough outing against the New York Yankees in the ALDS, where he allowed five runs in fewer than three innings. His struggles in New York raise questions about his readiness to face one of baseball’s hottest lineups.

Prediction

Expect a stronger outing from Kirby, who’s shown sharper command and composure than Bieber. Seattle’s bats should find plenty of contact early, building a lead that holds as Kirby and the bullpen close it out for a 3–0 series advantage.

Prediction: Mariners 5, Blue Jays 3
