TORONTO – More than three decades after Joe Carter touched them all, George Springer gave the Toronto Blue Jays another home run for the ages, vaulting them into the World Series for the first time since they won their second consecutive championship in 1993.

If the Los Angeles Dodgers are to become the first back-to-back World Series champions since the 1998-2000 New York Yankees, they will have to go through the Toronto Blue Jays. The Blue Jays punched their ticket to the Fall Classic with a Game 7 win over the Seattle Mariners on Monday night as George Springer hit a game-winning home run.
