Mariners vs. Blue Jays score and live updates: Seattle takes 1-0 lead in first inning of Game 7

Mariners manager Dan Wilson summarized the availability of substitutes for both clubs during his pre-match session with reporters:

💬 “As far as the bullpen goes tonight, we say it’s all hands on deck.”

Well, yeah. It’s Game 7, after all. But a quick look at last night’s usage, something to keep in mind after Seattle’s starter George Kirby and starting for the Blue Jays Shane Bieber leave the stage.

TORONTO

• Jeff Hoffman: 35 shots in Game 6
• Louis Varland: 22 locations

SEATTLE

• Matt Brash: 21 shots in Game 6
• Eduardo Bazardo: 15 locations
• Carlos Vargas: 13

The Mariners will therefore have a new rapprochement Andrés Munozwhile the Blue Jays might be inclined to dip into their stockpile of starters after Hoffman’s long outing last night. Both Kevin Gausman And Max Scherzer will be in Toronto manager John Schneider’s bullpen tonight.

💬 “It’s not set in stone that we can use any of them,” » said Schneider. “But I think knowing that they will be mentally and physically ready if we call on them is very comforting.”
