The Seattle Mariners are set to face the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday afternoon, with pitcher Logan Gilbert expected to lead the Mariners' effort. Gilbert has been on a recent hot streak, winning his last three starts and allowing only five runs over 16 innings. His previous outing against the Blue Jays on the Fourth of July saw him one-hit the team over 7 1/3 innings.
In contrast, Max Scherzer of the Blue Jays is experiencing a difficult period, with a record of 1-7 after losing his past three starts, during which he surrendered 10 runs over 14 frames. The Mariners and Blue Jays, who met in last year's ALCS, have both been described as being "stuck in neutral" in recent performance.
A previous game on Saturday saw the Rays defeat the Padres 7-6. In that game, a player named Bradgley Rodriguez faced four batters after the Padres had taken a 6-3 lead.
