Mariners provide both unstoppable forces and immovable objects in 8-4 extra innings win over Blue Jays

Today’s game was a game of unstoppable forces vs. immovable objects—

—no, not like that. Although yes, also like that. Unstoppable force: the ultra-aggressive Blue Jays, who have the third-lowest strikeout rate in baseball and put the ball in play on their uber-fast turf. Immovable object: Logan Gilbert, who has the second-highest K/9 in baseball. Who will win? The answer, as always, is the unstoppable march of time.

True to form, the Blue Jays were ultra-aggressive against Logan Gilbert, making him pay when he came on the plate against them.
