The Seattle Mariners secured a 10-9 comeback victory against the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 2 of their best-of-three Wild Card series to complete the sweep and advance to the American League Division Series against the Houston Astros.
Two four-run innings in the sixth and eighth brought the Mariners to a 9-9 tie after bouncing back from a seven-run deficit against the Blue Jays.
Tied heading into the ninth inning, Markham, Ont. native Jordan Romano was unable to hold off the Mariners, who broke the tie as Cal Raleigh scored on a double by Adam Frazier to take the lead.
Overcoming a seven-run deficit, the Mariners have tied the second largest comeback win in MLB postseason history. The record is held by the Philadelphia Athletics who came back from an eight-run hole against the Chicago Cubs in Game 4 of the 1929 World Series
More to come.
