Seattle MarinersvsToronto Blue Jays
SEA 1/TOR 8
Things to say
Toronto beat Seattle 8-1 at Rogers Centre.
01
opener
Jays took care of business, 8-1. Never really close after the middle innings. Seattle's bats just never showed up.
02
key player
The heart of the Toronto order did all the damage. Once they got going, it was one of those nights where everything left the yard.
03
hot take
Honestly Seattle looks cooked. One run all night against Toronto pitching? That's not a playoff club.
04
deep cut
Getaway day at Rogers Centre and the Mariners just mailed it in. You could tell the moment the pen came in it was over.
05
exit
Anyway, both these teams are under .500 and fading. I'm more curious what they do before the season's out.
The recap
Toronto flexed on a getaway day, running Seattle out of Rogers Centre 8-1. The Blue Jays' bats got loud early and never let up, while the Mariners managed just a single run all afternoon and never got into any kind of rhythm.
Seattle's starter couldn't find his stuff and the offense went quiet against the heart of the order. Not much drama here — Toronto took control and cruised.
