Toronto Blue Jays sweep Seattle Mariners

Overview

The Toronto Blue Jays extended their recent success by completing a three-game series sweep of the Seattle Mariners in late August 2026, outscoring the visitors 19-4 over the weekend.

Following previous 4-3 victories against the Yankees and Mariners, the sweep began with an 8-1 win led by George Springer and Dylan Cease. The middle game of the series saw the Blue Jays overcome a 3-0 deficit to win 4-3, driven by a sixth-inning rally and a go-ahead single by Alejandro Kirk.

The series concluded with a 7-0 shutout on Sunday. Veteran pitcher Max Scherzer delivered a historic performance, striking out 10 batters over seven innings while allowing only one hit. The 42-year-old Scherzer moved into ninth place on the all-time strikeouts list, surpassing Gaylord Perry with 3,535 career strikeouts. He also became the oldest pitcher since 1991 to record at least 10 strikeouts while allowing one or fewer hits in a single game.
