This was his sixth of the 2025 playoffs, tying the franchise record for most home runs in a single postseason.<\/p>\n<h3>Naylor, Suarez Cut Into Lead<\/h3>\n<p>Already hitting .325 in the playoffs, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/n\/naylojo01.shtml\">Josh Naylor<\/a> stayed hot in the sixth inning of Game Six. To break the Mariners out of their scoreless rut, Naylor hit a towering home run into the right-field seats to make it a 5\u20131 game. Two batters later, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/s\/suareeu01.shtml\">Eugenio Suarez<\/a> drove in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/a\/arozara01.shtml\">Randy Arozarena<\/a> with an RBI single.<\/p>\n<h3>Blue Jays Score Insurance Run<\/h3>\n<p>In the bottom of the seventh, Guerrero reached first base after getting hit by a pitch. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/k\/kirkal01.shtml\">Alejandro Kirk<\/a> singled to center, advancing Guerrero to second. As Guerrero made his way to third base, Cal Raleigh attempted to throw him out. However, the throw sailed past Eugenio Suarez, allowing Guerrero to make it home.<\/p>\n<h3>What Went Right For Blue Jays<\/h3>\n<p>One game after their bullpen imploded, the Blue Jays\u2019 relief corps held their own in Game Six. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/v\/varlalo01.shtml\">Louis Varland<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/h\/hoffmje02.shtml\">Jeff Hoffman<\/a> combined for over three scoreless innings while allowing a single hit.<\/p>\n<h3>What Went Wrong For Blue Jays<\/h3>\n<p>The Mariners failed to score on two different bases-loaded opportunities, but the Blue Jays cannot depend on them doing that the rest of the way. In a do-or-die game Monday night, the Mariners will strive to not let that happen again.<\/p>\n<h3>What Went Right For Mariners<\/h3>\n<p><a id=\"U8nu81HxTOBJpmT4ZiQrGQ\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/2242098291\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'U8nu81HxTOBJpmT4ZiQrGQ',sig:'bFDjXTEdJOWL64rLMMyQIRK9jmsXjpKmObx00Rga4BU=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'2242098291',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The Mariners\u2019 trade deadline acquisitions showed up again on Sunday.

Game Six was no different, as Logan Gilbert allowed four earned runs in four innings.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to their starting pitching, the Mariners played a sloppy game Sunday. The Mariners became the first team with three errors and three GIDP in a playoff game since the <a href=\"http:\/\/sportrelay.com\/mlb\/category\/yankees\">New York Yankees<\/a> in 2009.<\/p>\n<h3>Manager Reactions<\/h3>\n<p>In his postgame press conference, Mariners manager <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/managers\/wilsoda01.shtml\">Dan Wilson<\/a> credited Blue Jays starter <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/y\/yesavtr01.shtml\">Trey Yesavage<\/a> with finding a way to limit the Mariners&#8217; offense.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGive a little credit to Yesavage,\u201d said Wilson. \u201cThe secondaries that he had tonight were good.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite a commanding win Sunday night, Blue Jays manager <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/managers\/schnejo99.shtml\">John Schneider<\/a> knows his team hasn\u2019t reached the peak just yet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ll enjoy it for another 30 minutes,\u201d said Schneider. \u201cYou\u2019ve got to be ready to go tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Next Matchup<\/h3>\n<p>The Blue Jays and Mariners will meet back at Rogers Centre Monday for Game Seven of the ALCS. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/b\/biebesh01.shtml\">Shane Bieber<\/a> will start for the Blue Jays, while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/k\/kirbyge01.shtml\">George Kirby<\/a> will take the ball for the Mariners.
