Max Scherzer was the story early on. At 40 years old and making his 500th career start, he looked like the old “Mad Max” again. You could see how badly he wanted this one — barking into his glove after strikeouts, arguing to stay in the game when John Schneider came out for a mound visit in the fifth. He gave the Jays nearly six innings, only allowing two runs, and the bullpen handled the rest without much drama. Seattle actually struck first — Josh Naylor ripped a solo shot in the second inning, and for a moment, it felt like the crowd might carry them. But Toronto answered right back. Andrés Giménez crushed a two-run homer off Luis Castillo in the third, and from there, the Blue Jays’ offense just didn’t let up. Guerrero Jr. added his fifth homer of the postseason, and by the time Giménez punched in another two runs in the eighth, you could feel the air leave T-Mobile Park.
