00:00Absolutely. The game got off to a bang as Julio Rodriguez doubled down the line for Seattle and then Josh Naylor drove him home for the game's first run.
00:11Seattle's up 1-0, but that lead would last about 10 minutes as the Jays put the pressure on Kirby early and Dalton Varsho delivered on an RBI single to tie it back up.
00:23The next scoring came in the third inning as Julio Rodriguez went yard, his fourth of the postseason, and he became the third player age 24 or younger with two extra base hits in a game seven, joining Atlanta's Brian Hunter in the 1991 NLCS and Boston's Dustin Pedroia in the 2007 ALCS per Mariners PR.
00:44Then in the fifth, Cal Raleigh went deep for the fifth time this postseason, and now he has 65 home runs through the regular season and the playoffs, becoming the first American League player to ever reach that mark.
00:57He's also the first catcher in MLB history with at least four home runs and 19 total bases in a single postseason.
01:04But in the bottom of the seventh, Brian Wu walks Addison Barger, then gives up a single to IKF, Andres Jimenez bunts them over, and Dan Wilson brings in Bizarro to face George Springer.
01:20Springer takes a 1-0 sinker, rocks it to left field, staring as it flies into the seats, a three-run shot, an entire country erupts, and the Jays take a 4-3 lead.
01:34Chris Bassett to Jeff Hoffman to end it, just like we all envisioned.
