SEATTLE — The Toronto Blue Jays look to win a third straight game Friday night to take the lead over the Seattle Mariners in the American League Championship Series.

Toronto defeated Seattle 8-2 Thursday night to even the best-of-seven series at 2-2 after dropping the first two games at home.

Andres Gimenez homered and drove in four runs in the victory, while Vladimir Guerrero Jr. belted his fifth home run of the post-season.

The Blue Jays have outscored the Mariners 21-6 across two games in Seattle.

Kevin Gausman is set to start on the mound for Toronto, with Bryce Miller opposite of him for Seattle.

The Blue Jays will host Game 6 on Sunday and Game 7, if necessary, on Monday.
