The 41-year-old Max Scherzer hasn’t pitched in a game since his last regular-season start on Sept. 24 against Boston.

Toronto hands Game 4 to a future Hall of Famer chasing history and fighting time. Six teams in October, weeks since his last start—can he still change a series?

First baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. went 4-for-4 with a single, two doubles and a home run, plus an intentional walk. And veteran starter Shane Bieber held Seattle down on offense, recording eight strikeouts while allowing two runs and four hits across the first six innings.

More than three decades after Joe Carter touched them all, George Springer gave the Toronto Blue Jays another home run for the ages, vaulting them into the World Series for the first time since they won their second consecutive championship in 1993.

The Toronto Blue Jays could be losing some key pitchers in free agency and may need to make trades to fill out the rotation.
