TORONTO – The stadium was as quiet as it had been all season.
The fans at Rogers Centre were traumatized. First off, the Toronto Blue Jays had just watched a seven-run lead evaporate in Game 2 of the American League Wild Card series. But the Seattle Mariners’ game-tying, three-run double had other disastrous consequences.
George Springer and Bo Bichette were both down on the turf, folded over in considerable pain. Bichette held his hands over his head, curled into a ball, while Springer was flat on his back, not moving. Eventually, Bichette rose to his feet as the medical cart came out for Springer.
