The Toronto Blue Jays go up in their series 2-0 over the New York Yankees, while the Seattle Mariners evened their series up 1-1 against the Detroit Tigers!

*Other games will be updated after they finish.

Mariners 3-2 Tigers

In a big pitching battle, all it took was a few runs from the Mariners to win Game 2. It is now their first postseason win since the ALDS in 2001.

Seattle's Jorge Polanco hit two solo home runs off Tigers starter and AL Cy Young candidate Tarik Skubal to give the Mariners a 2-0 lead up until the top of the eighth inning.

But after having men on first and second, Detroit's Spencer Torkelson knocked in both runners with a two-run double to tie it all up 2-2.

But Seattle responded quickly.

In the bottom half of the inning, Mariners star catcher Cal Raleigh hit a double down the first base line to get into scoring position.

And who else but the young star Julio Rodriguez to knock Raleigh in to take a 3-2 lead. 

Skubal went seven innings, giving up two runs on five hits while striking out nine batters and walking one. 

Seattle starter Luis Castillo tossed 4.1 shutout innings, allowing just one hit but walking four and striking out three.

Detroit recorded a total of three hits in Game 2 against the Mariners and went 1-for-6 with runners in scoring position. Meanwhile, the Mariners went 2-for-5 with a total of eight hits. 

Blue Jays 13-7 Yankees

Blue Jays rookie starting pitcher Trey Yesavage was the star for the first five innings of the game. 

The 22-year-old threw 5.1 no-hit innings while striking out 11 batters and walking one. He had only pitched in three regular-season games this year prior to his first postseason start.

But, of course, the Blue Jays gave more run support and then some thanks to a grand slam from Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and four more home runs from Ernie Clement (1), George Springer (1), and Daulton Varsho (2). 

Toronto would go on to put up 15 total hits.

Springer's home run put him tied for fifth-most in MLB Postseason history, tying Yankees legend Derek Jeter with 20.

Varsho finished the game going 4-for-5 at the plate with two home runs, two doubles, four RBI, and four runs.

He went 2-for-3 with two runs, a double, a single, and a walk in Toronto's Game 1 win.

New York started to close the gap after putting up seven runs across the sixth and seventh innings on 10 hits.

And it all started with a Cody Bellinger two-run home run.

But Toronto held on to close it out as the series now heads to New York for Game 3 and a chance for an ALDS sweep.

Yankees starting pitcher Max Fried gave up seven runs on seven runs on eight hits, striking out one.

New York would finish the game 5-for-7 with runners in scoring position, while the Blue Jays hit 4-for-9.

Game 3 between the Blue Jays and Yankees will be on Tuesday, October 7th.
