The Milwaukee Brewers are not the only top-seeded team to struggle at home in the MLB League Championship Series. The Toronto Blue Jays, the top seed in the American League, find themselves in a tough spot after losing both of their opening games against the Seattle Mariners. Now sitting at 0-2 in the series, the Blue Jays head to Seattle with history against them.
Game 3 of the American League Championship Series (ALCS) is scheduled for October 15 at T-Mobile Park in Seattle. The Mariners, who are seeded second, started strong by winning a close Game 1 in Toronto and then dominating Game 2 with a 10-3 victory, which fell on Canadian Thanksgiving and left Blue Jays fans disheartened. With a commanding 2-0 lead in the series, the Mariners are just two wins away from securing their first World Series appearance in franchise history.
Fans can catch Game 3 at 7:08 p.m. Central Time on Fox Sports 1. For those looking for viewing options, Fubo offers a free trial that includes FS1.
