Description

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. 

As always, we’ll open up the mailbag at deepleftfield@thestar.ca.
