The Toronto Blue Jays hammered the Mariners 13-4 Wednesday, piling up 18 hits — including five homers — all within the first three pitches of at-bats to pull within 2-1 in the AL Championship Series. Eight came off George Kirby, who said he’ll keep attacking the zone after “a lot of comfortable at-bats.” Homers by Andrés Giménez, George Springer, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., and Alejandro Kirk made it four straight innings with a blast, per Elias; Addison Barger added one late. Reliever Caleb Ferguson said Seattle would bounce back; the staff posted a 3.29 ERA in the Division Series.
