VIDEO SHOWS: HIGHLIGHTS FROM SEATTLE MARINERS V TORONTO BLUE JAYS MLB GAME COMPLETE SHOTLIST TO FOLLOW SHOWS: SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, UNITED STATES (OCTOBER 16, 2025) (MLB – See restrictions) STORY: Max Scherzer pitched 5 2/3 innings for his first postseason win since 2019 as the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Seattle Mariners 8-2 on Thursday (October 16), levelling the American League Championship Series at 2-2. Andres Gimenez and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. homered for the second consecutive game, while Gimenez drove in four runs as Toronto secured its second straight road win after dropping the first two games at home. Isiah Kiner-Falefa, Ernie Clement, and Gimenez each contributed two hits to the Blue Jays' total of 11. Scherzer (1-0), making his first appearance since Sept. 24 due to a neck injury, allowed two runs on three hits, walked four, and struck out five in the 500th start of his career. Luis Castillo (1-1) lasted just 2 1/3 innings for Seattle, yielding three runs on five hits and a walk. The Blue Jays took control after falling behind early, responding to Josh Naylor's leadoff homer in the second inning with a three-run third. Gimenez's two-run homer and Daulton Varsho's bases-loaded walk off reliever Gabe Speier put Toronto ahead 3-1. The Blue Jays added two more runs in the fourth, including George Springer's RBI double and a wild pitch. Seattle managed a run in the sixth, but Guerrero's solo home run in the seventh and Gimenez's two-run single in the eighth solidified Toronto's victory. The Mariners finished with five hits, including Naylor's homer and a run-scoring single from Eugenio Suarez. Game five of the best-of-seven series is scheduled for Friday in Seattle.

VIDEO SHOWS: HIGHLIGHTS FROM LOS ANGELES DODGERS V MILWAUKEE BREWERS MLB GAME  COMPLETE SHOTLIST TO FOLLOW SHOWS: LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES (OCTOBER 16, 2025) (MLB – See restrictions) STORY: Tyler Glasnow struck out eight batters, while Tommy Edman delivered a go-ahead RBI single in the sixth inning to help the Los Angeles Dodgers secure a 3-1 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday (October 16), taking a commanding 3-0 lead in the National League Championship Series. Mookie Betts contributed an RBI double in the first inning, and Roki Sasaki closed out the game with his third save of the postseason. The Dodgers never trailed, advancing toward a potential series sweep in Game 4 at home on Friday. Glasnow allowed one run on three hits over 5 2/3 innings, walking three. He has conceded just one run across three postseason appearances spanning 13 1/3 innings. Milwaukee's Jacob Misiorowski struck out nine in five innings of relief, giving up two runs (one earned) on three hits and one walk. The Dodgers opened the scoring early, as Shohei Ohtani tripled off Aaron Ashby's fifth pitch and scored on Betts' double. The Brewers tied the game in the second inning with Caleb Durbin's triple and Jake Bauers' RBI single, but struggled offensively, going 1-for-7 with runners in scoring position. Edman broke the tie in the sixth with an RBI single, scoring Will Smith and advancing Freddie Freeman to third, who later scored on an errant pickoff throw by reliever Abner Uribe. The Brewers suffered further setbacks when leadoff hitter Jackson Chourio exited in the seventh inning with a right leg injury. The Dodgers' bullpen shut the door on Milwaukee, with Alex Vesia, Blake Treinen, Anthony Banda, and Sasaki combining for 3 1/3 scoreless innings. The Brewers, the league's top team in the regular season, are now one loss away from elimination. (Production: Suramya Kaushik)

So then I was waiting, you know, I'll wait a little bit and see if it starts to come and I just didn't have that fire in the belly anymore and yeah, that's kind of when I knew it was right but you still don't really know. I think you're still waiting for something to happen but it just never came and I'm actually really glad that I'm leaving like this. You know, I'm not leaving through injury, I'm not leaving through my performance dipping.

He was just so happy for me and proud of me and can see that I've got so much to look forward to in my life and was just very happy to support me." 14. TITMUS WALKING    STORY: Australian four-time Olympic gold medallist Ariarne Titmus said on Friday (October 17) that she had "made the right decision" to retire from competitive swimming at the age of 25, ending a stellar career that featured one of the sport's great rivalries with American Katie Ledecky. "I've always put my goals in the pool first and so I'm excited just to live a little bit and you know, just relax," she told reporters in Brisbane, bowing out as one of Australia's most decorated athletes with eight Olympic medals and four world titles. The decision came as a shock to her nation, and the swimming world in general, as she had long planned a return to the pool to chase more Olympic glory at Los Angeles 2028. Titmus won her third individual Olympic gold medal in a 400m freestyle final dubbed "the race of the century" at the Paris Games when she beat Ledecky and Canada's Summer McIntosh to defend her title. After Paris, she resolved to take a year off from competing and training to recharge, electing to skip the world championships in Singapore and instead cover the meet as a TV commentator. But the return to the pool never materialised. Titmus had undergone surgery to remove benign tumours from her ovaries eight months before Paris and she said the health issue had reminded her about having a life outside swimming.
