8 outs from AL pennant, Seattle Mariners waste lead and remain only team without a World Series trip
Eight outs from their first World Series, the Seattle Mariners let it slip away. Their 49th season may have been the most heartbreaking.
Mariners first baseman Josh Naylor went for an unexpected move early in Monday night's Game 7 of the ALCS against the Blue Jays.
TORONTO — Julio Rodriguez took ball four, tossed his bat away, clapped twice and exhorted his teammates in the Seattle Mariners dugout. Sure, they were in a two-run hole in the third inning of Game 6 in this American League Championship Series, but Cal Raleigh, the likely AL MVP, was coming to the plate and the bases were loaded.
The Toronto Blue Jays are back in the World Series for the first time since 1993 and the Los Angeles Dodgers will try to to become the first repeat winner in a quarter century.
