"Springer hit a go-ahead, three-run homer in the seventh inning and the Toronto Blue Jays won their first pennant since 1993 by beating the Seattle Mariners 4-3 in Game 7 of the American League Championship Series on Monday night. Vladimir Guerrero Jr and the Blue Jays will host Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 1 on Friday when the Fall Classic comes to Canada for the third time."
"Cal Raleigh and Julio Rodriguez each hit a solo home run for Seattle in the team's first postseason Game 7, but the heartbroken Mariners squandered a 3-1 lead in the seventh and fell eight outs short of their first World Series appearance. I hate to use the word failure, but it's a failure, Raleigh said. What we expected was to get to the World Series and win a World Series. That's what the bar is and the standard is."
