The Seattle Mariners defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 10-3, advancing to a 2-0 lead in the American League Championship Series (ALCS). Julio Rodriguez's three-run home run in the first inning sparked the Mariners’ offense, which also featured homers from Jorge Polanco and Josh Naylor. Starter Logan Gilbert allowed two earned runs over three innings, with the bullpen limiting the Blue Jays to just one hit for the remainder of the game. The Mariners will head back to Seattle, where they have a chance to secure their first World Series appearance in franchise history. In NFL action, the Seattle Seahawks beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 20-12, improving their record to 4-2 and creating a three-way tie for the NFC West lead with the 49ers and Rams.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba's standout performance included eight receptions for 162 yards, giving him the league lead in total yards this season with 696. The Mariners and Seahawks' recent successes highlight a strong period for Seattle sports teams. Both teams look to build on their momentum in upcoming games, with the Mariners playing Game 3 of the ALCS and the Seahawks hosting the Houston Texans next.
