Canada's Blue Jays Earn World Series Matchup Versus the Dodgers

George Springer celebrating

The outfielder contributed to the Houston Astros securing the World Series in the 2017 season.

Toronto's Blue Jays reached their first championship series after 1993 by beating the Mariners in the final game seven of the ALCS.

Behind 3-1, Springer delivered a three-run homer in the seventh, guiding the Toronto squad in Major League Baseball to a 4-3 series triumph in the seven-game series. Awaiting them are the defending champions, who are the reigning title, in the forthcoming championship.

"I'm just so happy for this squad, the city, our country," Springer stated, a star of the Astros team that secured the 2017 World Series. "This is such an amazing experience."

Springer has now slugged twenty-three post-season home runs, ranking him third all-time trailing only Manny Ramirez (29) and Jose Altuve (twenty-seven).

"I can't think of anyone else on planet Earth that I want up in that situation besides George Springer with his post-season brilliance," remarked Schneider.

Seattle, despite leading the early in the series, remain the one club that has never reached in a Fall Classic.

Wilson commented "without a doubt that it's painful" in the wake of his side's defeat at Toronto's Rogers Centre, but applauded their performance in the campaign.

"This is a unique group. It's a shame that we ended up on the losing end of the series," he added.

The Blue Jays claimed the championship on their two prior appearances in the early 90s, and will host the Dodgers in the first game on Friday.
