Toronto Blue Jays show Seattle Mariners what they're made of in Game 3 of the ALCS

The Blue Jays dawned their powder blues for game 3 of the ALCS, perhaps to change their luck or vibe in a must win contest and it worked...BIGTIME.

By the third inning it went from 'powder' to POWER and the only one feeling the blues were the Seattle Mariners.

A five-run third, catalyzed by Ernie Clement's leadoff double and Andres Gimenez's game-tying home run, the first of his three hits, surpassed their total offensive output from the first two games and they just kept swinging from there before a stunned crowd of 46,471.

Guerrero, hitless through the first two games of the series, was back to being a force himself, too, with a single in the first, doubling and scoring during the pivotal third, homering to lead off the fifth, being walked intentionally and scoring on Alejandro Kirk's three-run drive in the sixth before doubling again in the eighth.

George Springer, who crushed a 431-foot homer to straightaway centre leading off the fourth, had three hits, Addison Barger added a solo shot in the ninth while Daulton Varsho, with a two-run double that capped the third, Clement, and Kirk each had two hits apiece as the Blue Jays blitzed George Kirby and three relievers by taking the types of shots Schneider had preached before the game.

And just like that, the Blue Jays are a win away from turning a series that looked like it might be headed for a one-sided finish into a much more competitive and contested affair.
