Behind an all-out, swing-early plan, the Toronto Blue Jays jolted the ALCS back to life in Seattle, thumping the Mariners 13-4 in Game 3. Down 2-0 after Julio Rodríguez’s first-inning homer off Shane Bieber, Toronto answered with five homers and 18 hits — every one within the first three pitches. No. 9 hitter Andrés Giménez sparked it with a game-tying shot, Daulton Varsho doubled in two, and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. went 4-for-4 with a homer and two doubles. Manager John Schneider’s boxing mantra — throw haymakers — matched David Popkins’ aggressive approach, and it landed.
