JUMP TO: 

Game 7 of the ALCS figures to be a doozy.

The Toronto Blue Jays and Seattle Mariners have clashed like knights beneath the northern starlight. The two can hardly be considered MLB powerhouses, at least not by historical standards.

But in postseason play, they’ve shown plenty of might. Toronto was the latest side to flash its resolve, downing Seattle 6-2 to set up the do-or-die matchup. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. tacked on another homer to his postseason collection on Sunday night. If he could add another on Monday, he could push himself — and the motley crew of talents that surround him — one step closer to immortality.

The Sporting News is tracking live updates from Game 7 of the ALCS. Follow below for highlights, live results and more as the Blue Jays and Mariners duel one more time to determine who faces the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series.

Blue Jays vs. Mariners live updates, highlights from ALCS Game 7

All times ET.

9:25 p.m. — Bieber’s Game 7 is over, and he came out with some hard feelings for home plate umpire Quinn Wolcott. Bieber walked nine-hitter Victor Robles to put two runners on with two outs, but he didn’t like some of the ball-strike calls. Either way, he’s been pulled for Louis Varland as Toronto goes to the bullpen.

9:21 p.m. — Shane Bieber has now allowed seven hits through 3.1 innings of work. JP Crawford smacked a double into left field with one out in the fourth, and yet again, Seattle has a runner in scoring position. 

End of third inning: Mariners 2, Blue Jays 1

9:15 p.m. — Kirby settles in a bit more in the bottom half of the third. Toronto goes down 1-2-3, including Kirby’s second strikeout. Seattle takes its advantage into the fourth. 

9:07 p.m. — Shane Bieber gets out of the third with just the home run allowed. Jorge Polanco also got a hit, but Randy Arozarena went down swinging to end the Mariners’ threat. Still, Seattle has capitalized against Bieber in the early action. 

Mariners 2, Blue Jays 1

9:01 p.m. HOME RUN — Julio Rodriguez breaks the tie in a big way. The Mariners center fielder blasts one into left field, and it gets into the Rogers Centre seats for a solo home run. Rodriguez is 2-2 already today, coming through when Seattle needs him most.

End of second inning: Mariners 1, Blue Jays 1

8:55 p.m. — Both starters found a little trouble in the second inning, but got out unscathed. Andres Gimenez reached on an infield single, but George Kirby gets George Springer to ground out to end the second. 

8:47 p.m. — Seattle’s bats remained hot in the top of the second, getting two hits, then a sacrifice bunt that moved the runners into scoring position. Still, Bieber escapes. He struck out Leo Rivas, then got Victor Robles to ground out as the Mariners strand two. 

End of first inning: Mariners 1, Blue Jays 1

8:42 p.m. — Both teams settle for one run in the first inning. Game 7 has already had some back-and-forth action, as we head to the second frame tied at one.

Mariners 1, Blue Jays 1

8:37 p.m. RBI SINGLE — Just like that, we’re tied once again. Daulton Varsho makes it 1-1 with another hit, and Kirby is in some early trouble for Seattle. 

8:34 p.m. —  Toronto his now threatening early runs as well. George Springer walked, while Vladimir Guerrero Jr. got another base hit. Two runs are on with one out for George Kirby.

8:23 p.m. — A whacky play has already come in Game 7. As Jorge Polanco grounded out into a potential double play, Ernie Clement’s throw to first base hit Naylor, the runner, right in the helmet. However, the umpires rule it a double-play anyway, as Naylor lept up towards the ball instead of sliding into second base.

The top of the first comes to an end after Seattle’s 1-0 start.

Mariners 1, Blue Jays 0

8:18 p.m. RBI SINGLE — We have our first run in Game 7 already. Josh Naylor comes through for the Mariners, knocking a hit into right field that scores Rodriguez. Seattle jumps on Shane Bieber early.

8:15 p.m. — Bieber gets Cal Raleigh swinging for a key first out in the top of the first. 

8:10 p.m. — They are under way in Game 7. Shane Bieber allows a leadoff double to Julio Rodriguez, and Seattle already has a runner in scoring position.

Pregame

7:58 p.m. — There’s a lot on the line between two hungry franchises tonight. 

7:45 p.m. — George Springer is ready for Game 7. He got hit in the knee by a pitch in Game 5, but it didn’t stop him from playing in Game 6.

6:45 p.m. — Vladdy Jr. pulled up in an Auston Matthews Maple Leafs jersey, which is stylish. But he’s also taking some heat from Blue Jays fans; the Maple Leafs are 0-7 in their last seven Game 7s in the playoffs, and winless with Matthews. Will it be bad luck for Toronto, or will Guerrero break some kind of curse?

6:44 p.m. — Here’s how the Blue Jays will line up tonight:

6:43 p.m. — Here’s the Mariners’ Game 7 lineup:

6:39 p.m. — It will be George Kirby vs. Shane Bieber to begin today’s game on the mound. Kirby has made three appearances this postseason, most recently allowing eight runs in four innings of ALCS Game 3. Kirby allowed a combined three runs in 10 innings in two outings against the Tigers in the ALDS.

Meanwhile, Bieber will be making his third appearance of the postseason. He went six strong innings in Game 3 of this series, striking out eight Mariners with two earned runs.
