Toronto, Canada — Jorge Polanco continues to shine in October. The Dominican infielder was once again decisive by hitting a three-run home run that propelled the victory of the Seattle Mariners by 10-3 over the Toronto Blue Jays, in Game 2 of the American League Championship Series (ALCS), played this Monday at the Rogers Centre. With the victory, Seattle takes a 2-0 lead and is two wins away from their first World Series.
Polanco, described by his teammate Cal Raleigh as "our heart and soul," has been a key figure throughout the postseason, standing out with decisive hits in moments of maximum pressure. In this game, his home run in the fifth inning against Louis Varland broke the tie and silenced the Canadian fans, marking another memorable chapter in his 2025 resurgence.
The Mariners' offensive also featured home runs from Julio Rodríguez and Josh Naylor, who contributed to the offensive festival that left Toronto's pitching unanswered. Starter Logan Gilbert pitched three innings, before the bullpen took over to maintain the lead until the end.
With the series at 2-0, the SCLA now moves to T-Mobile Park in Seattle, where Game 3 will be played this Wednesday night, with the Mariners dreaming ever closer of their first date in the Fall Classic.
In the history of best-of-seven series, teams that take a 2-0 lead have advanced in 83.9% of the time, and in the 2-3-2 format, those who win the first two away games have qualified in 24 of 27 times (88.9%). Seattle, without a doubt, seeks to continue making history.
