The Seattle Mariners are going home with a commanding advantage in the American League Championship Series.
The pitching-centric team is crushing the Toronto Blue Jays in all facets of the game, slugging three home runs in Game 2 to cruise to a 10-3 victory Oct. 13 at Rogers Centre.
And now, history is overwhelmingly on their side.
They will take a 2-0 lead home to T-Mobile Park, knowing that in LCS history, a team that won the first two games on the road has advanced 86.8% of the time.
They can thank Jorge Polanco and a possibly peerless bullpen for the happy flight home to the Pacific Northwest.
Polanco broke a 3-3 tie with a three-run home run off reliever Louis Varland in the top of the sixth inning. Polanco also provided the go-ahead and insurance RBIs in Seattle's 3-1 victor
