The Mariners are one win away from the first World Series appearance in franchise history after their 6-2 win over the Blue Jays in Game 5 of the American League Championship Series Friday.
Third baseman Eugenio Suárez, who Seattle acquired from the Diamondbacks at the trade deadline, hit two home runs on the night, including a massive grand slam in the eighth to break a 2-2 tie. Star catcher Cal Raleigh, Major League Baseball's home run leader, hit a homer to tie the game to lead off the inning. The bases were loaded for Suárez after walks to Jorge Polanco, Josh Naylor and Randy Arozarena.
