Casey Lawrence took over and allowed home runs to Dylan Moore and Raleigh, and the Jays were down 7-1 after three innings. Toronto will host the Seattle Mariners in a best-of-three wild-card series. The Mariners hit 197 homers this season, fifth in the American League and three behind the Jays’ 200, but their offence isn’t as diverse, scoring half a run less per game than the Jays. They have the edge in runs allowed, though, giving up 3.85 per game to the Jays’ 4.19. Left-hander Robbie Ray, who won the Cy Young Award with the Jays last year, is scheduled to start Saturday.
