TORONTO – Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider ran back his Game 6 batting order for the winner-take-all Game 7 on Monday night at Rogers Centre.
The Blue Jays beat the Seattle Mariners 6-2 on Sunday to force a decisive game in the American League Championship Series.
“A chance to win a game at home in front of these fans to go to the World Series, I think is everything that we play for and everything that our fans deserve,” Schneider said in his pre-game media availability.
The series winner will play the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series starting Friday.
Designated hitter George Springer will bat first again for Toronto despite appearing somewhat limited at the plate after taking a fastball off the right knee in Game 5.
“I got hit in the kneecap, it’s not ideal,” Springer said. “So it’s not necessarily the best thing, but at this point I’m going to play.”
Shane Bieber was scheduled to start for Toronto against George Kirby.
Mariners manager Dan Wilson made a few changes to his lineup for Game 7.
Victor Robles replaced Dominic Canzone in right field and Josh Naylor of Mississauga, Ont., moved up a spot to third in the order with Jorge Polanco moving into the cleanup spot.
The Blue Jays last reached the Fall Classic in 1993 when they won a second straight title. Seattle has never reached the World Series.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Oct. 20, 2025.
