Before Game 6 of the ALCS in Toronto, where the Blue Jays look to stave off elimination and force Game 7 Monday night, Mike Wilner was on the field during Blue Jays batting practice to break down the stakes of this game (spoiler: the Jays need to win).

Guest: Ernie Clement

That was a tough loss. The Jays did what they needed to do in Seattle by winning two out of three to ensure they come back to Toronto with a chance to advance to the World Series (where the winner of the ALCS will face the Dodgers, who beat the Brewers Friday night). But the Jays will have to win both Game 6 on Sunday and Game 7 on Monday. It felt like the Blue Jays were on the cusp of winning this one but in the bottom of the 8th inning, up 2-1, John Schneider went to Brendon Little, who gave up a home run to Cal Raleigh to tie it 2-2, before the wheels came completely off.

We hear from Ernie Clement in the clubhouse after the game.

Guest: Blue Jays reliever Mason Fluharty The first ALCS to open up in Toronto since 1992 began the same way the last one did - with a Blue Jays loss. The Jays got a leadoff home run from George Springer and then just one more hit the rest of the night and fell to the travel- and extra-inning-weary Seattle Mariners 3-1. Mason Fluharty got two huge outs in the top of the eighth, striking out Josh Naylor and Eugenio Suarez to escape Seranthony Dominguez' jam and give the bats a chance to come back. They didn't. The rookie lefty joins us from a very quiet Jays' clubhouse to talk about his playoff experience so far. And, of course, we dip into the mailbag at [email protected] to hear what you have to say!
