Mariners vs. Blue Jays Live Updates, Score: ALCS Goes to Seattle for Game 3
It’s a must-win game for the Blue Jays, and a chance to protect home field for the Mariners.
Only one MLB team has ever overcome a 3-0 series deficit. In Game 3 of the ALCS (8:08 p.m. ET) Toronto needs a win to avoid that almost insurmountable margin, while Seattle can take a commanding lead in the series. The Blue Jays will send Shane Bieber to the mound, whom they acquired in a midseason trade, and the Mariners will start George Kirby, who pitched a gem in the close-out Game 5 in the ALDS.
Will the Mariners keep it rolling, or will the Blue Jays get on the board?
Live Coverage for this began on 8:30p ET
The Mariners have made the first move in what’s sure to be a rip-roaring Trade Deadline season, acquiring INF Buddy Kennedy from the Giants in exchange for cash considerations.
Kennedy was designated for assignment by San Francisco earlier this morning as outfielder Heliot Ramos returned from the Injured List.

The 5’10” infielder has spent most of the season with Triple-A Sacramento, hitting well, even for the PCL. He’s in the 78th percentile for xWOBA, has a nearly identical K% and BB% (12.6%/12.1%) and rarely whiffs. This all has come out to a .322 batting average and a 152 wRC+. He’s made just a minimal impression in the bigs this season, with 8 plate appearances in 7 games, and zero hits.
Kennedy is likely to head to Tacoma. He can play 3B and 2B in a pinch, and will likely backfill Patrick Wisdom’s role if Wisdom is called up to take over right-handed pinch hitting duties from the currently-employed Rob Refsnyder.
The 27-year-old has not found much traction in the five years since his debut with Arizona in 2022. He’s amassed less than 200 plate appearances across 74 games, with a career 50 wRC+. On the mound, Kennedy has made one appearance this season, pitching one inning and giving up four runs, all earned.
Despite some overcast skies, thousands of Seattleites showed up in rainbow colors and bright smiles to celebrate the Seattle Pride Parade on Sunday.The march kicked off at 11 a.m. along Fourth Avenue in downtown, and wrapped up around 3:00 p.m. near Seattle Center.Seattle Pride traces its roots to 1974 and has grown into one of the nation’s largest LGBTQ+ celebrations, drawing hundreds of thousands of people each year.
