The five biggest moments of the Blue Jays' ALCS win over the Seattle Mariners

1. Game 7: George Springer hits a three-run home run to put the Blue Jays up 4-3: Without a doubt, this is not just the best moment of the 2025 ALCS, it's one of the best moments in Blue Jays history.

The Blue Jays were on the back foot the entire game. Seattle struck first in the first inning. The Blue Jays even the score in the bottom of the first. But in the third, Rodríguez put the Mariners back on top with a solo home run. Raleigh added a solo shot of his own in the fifth inning. Meanwhile, the Blue Jays managed just three hits after the first inning.

Bryan Woo pitched two scoreless innings for the Mariners after entering the game in the fifth inning. But in the seventh, he walked Barger, then gave up a single to Kiner-Falefa. Giménez advanced the runners with a sacrifice bunt. Eduard Bazardo took over for Woo. Up came George Springer.

Just three days after leaving Game 5 after getting hit by a pitch in the knee, Springer hit a three-run home run to left field. The Blue Jays took a 4-3 lead in Game 7 of the ALCS.

It was Springer's 23rd postseason home run, tying him with Kyle Schwarber for the third most all-time. For the 52nd time in 2025, the Blue Jays came back to win. It was a fitting way to cap off a comeback from losing the first two games of the series.

Springer's home run in the seventh inning puts him in company with Joe Carter and Jose Bautista for the greatest home runs in Blue Jays history. Springer had been one of the best players for the Blue Jays this season, and with one swing, he sent Toronto to its first World Series in 32 years.
