Is the American League Championship Series due for another turn?

The best-of-seven is down to a best-of-three, with the Seattle Mariners and Toronto Blue Jays each winning consecutive games on the road, with one final matchup at Seattle’s T-Mobile Park.

It’s a Game 1 rerun, at least on paper, as No. 5 starter Bryce Miller starts for Seattle, opposed by Toronto ace Kevin Gausman. Miller was able to break serve in a 3-1 Game 1 victory, though the Blue Jays’ 29-hit eruption in Games 3 and 4 and means the Mariners’ bullpen is more taxed coming in.

In ALCS history, Game 5 winners have gone on to win the series 75% of the time when it is tied 2-2. And the Mariners, for the third time, will attempt to move within one game of their first World Series berth for the first time in franchise history.

“I think this is very emblematic of where we find ourselves a lot during the season. It’s a two-out-of-three series at this point and we have been successful a lot of times in a two-out-of-three series.

“I think our guys, they know what it takes to fight from this position. That’s been sort of a key to our entire season, really, has just been their ability to be resilient, to fight back, to fight hard, and fight from inning one to nine. And that’s really going to become front stage and center here these last several games, and I’m comfortable and I think they’re comfortable in that environment as well.”

Toronto’s 41-year-old Max Scherzer got the win in Game 4 and the three-time Cy Young winner looked like his hold self, shouting at Blue Jays manager John Schneider to leave him in the game – much to the delight of third baseman Ernie Clement

“I’ve seen it on TV just from watching baseball over the last 15 years or whatever. He’s so fired up and wants to be out there and wants to kick your ass,” Clement told reporters before Game 5. “So to be on that side of it, like, I’ve been kind of waiting for that all season, so it was so, so fun to be a part of.

“I couldn’t help but laugh. It was just so funny because after he comes out, he kind of flips the switch and goes back to being that fun-loving jokester. It’s like he’s got two personalities. It’s hysterical. So I was really happy for him to get that job done.”
