The good news for the Toronto Blue Jays: they’re in the midst of a historic playoff series.
The bad news: they’re on the wrong side of it.
In Game 2 of their American League Championship Series against the Seattle Mariners, the Blue Jays were hoping to even the series up at home before heading on the road for up to three away games.
But the Blue Jays were down 3-0 before even getting a single out, and things didn’t exactly get much better from there.
Sure, Toronto did even up the score by the second inning, but for the second game in a row, their bats fell cold once they got to the second time through the order.
Toronto gave up a pair of three-run home runs on the day, the first time in franchise history they’ve pulled off that unfortunate feat in the playoffs, per Sportsnet Stats.
