SEATTLE -- Mariners manager Dan Wilson made major changes to his lineup in an attempt to reverse the momentum Seattle has lost in the American League Championship Series against the Toronto Blue Jays .

Julio Rodriguez , who has batted third in the Mariners' lineup recently, was moved to the leadoff position for Friday's game, and Josh Naylor was bumped up to the cleanup spot, with Randy Arozarena -- who had batted first in the first four games of this series -- shifted to fifth.

The Mariners won Games 1 and 2, but Toronto took Games 3 and 4 to tie the best-of-seven series. The road team has won every game.

The lineup changes appear to be an attempt to place the Mariners' best current hitters at the top of the order and perhaps give them an extra plate appearance at game's end.
