VIDEO SHOWS: HIGHLIGHTS FROM SEATTLE MARINERS AT TORONTO BLUE JAYS IN ALCS GAME ONE COMPLETE SHOTLIST TO FOLLOW  SHOWS: TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA (OCTOBER 12, 2025) (MLB – See script for restrictions) SEATTLE MARINERS AT TORONTO BLUE JAYS AT ROGERS CENTRE – AMERICAN LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES GAME ONE STORY: Bryce Miller pitched six strong innings, and Cal Raleigh homered as the Seattle Mariners defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 3-1 on Sunday (October 12) in game one of the American League Championship Series, snatching away the Blue Jays' home-field advantage in the best-of-seven series. George Springer accounted for Toronto's lone run with a solo homer in the first inning, his second of the postseason and the first to lead off a playoff game in franchise history. Miller settled down after that, allowing just two hits and three walks while striking out three in six innings. Kevin Gausman kept Toronto in the game with a strong outing, retiring 16 consecutive batters at one point. However, Raleigh broke the streak with a two-out homer in the sixth, his second of the postseason, and Jorge Polanco followed with an RBI single to give Seattle the lead. Gausman finished with five strikeouts, yielding two runs on three hits and one walk over 5 2/3 innings. Seattle extended its lead in the eighth when Randy Arozarena walked, stole second and third, and later scored on Polanco's RBI single. The Mariners' bullpen, led by Gabe Speier, Matt Brash, and Andres Munoz, combined for three perfect innings to close out the victory, with Munoz earning the save. Toronto faced a setback when Nathan Lukes exited the game in the fourth inning with a knee contusion after fouling a ball off his right leg. Myles Straw replaced him in right field.

AUSTIN MANAGER NICO ESTEVEZ AND LAFC MANAGER STEVE CHERUNDOLO HUGGING AFTER MATCH 12. AUSTIN GOAL SCORER WOLFF STORY: Owen Wolff scored on an 83rd-minute header for his team-lead-tying sixth goal of the season to lift Austin FC to a 1-0 victory over visiting LAFC on Sunday (October 12) evening. Brad Stuver made two saves to keep his ninth clean sheet and help Austin (13-12-8, 47 points) snap a three-match losing run in all competitions and halt LAFC's six-match winning run. The victory also assured a sweep of the season series and a sixth-place finish in the Western Conference, which could set up a Round 1 MLS Cup Playoff series against an LAFC side (17-8-8, 59 points) that's currently in third. If that materializes, it will have a considerably different feel. Austin striker Myrto Uzuni, who is tied with Wolff on six goals, missed Sunday's clash to international duty, as did LAFC's top two attackers, Son Heung-min and Denis Bouanga. LAFC can still finish as high as second and as low as fourth in the West, but Sunday's loss, coupled with Vancouver's win, means the Black-and-Gold can no longer top the West standings. Wolff's decisive moment came on just Austin's second effort on target via a corner kick from the right. Zan Kolmanic's inswinging service came toward the near post, skimmed the head of LAFC defender Eddie Segura and then continued toward the back post. That's where Wolff met it, sneaking in front of a defender to guide home a header into an open goal from close range. Each team only had one shot during a disjointed first half, with LAFC's arriving in a more dangerous position in the 41st minute. Jeremy Ebobisse couldn't quite work out his timing as he approached a bouncing ball near the penalty spot and sent the ensuing effort arcing over the crossbar. The teams traded their first shots on target in the 58th and 59th minutes, with LAFC's Andrew Moran first forcing Stuver into action before Lloris denied Gallagher's effort on the other end. In the 81st minute, LAFC defender Nkosi Tafari surged up the right flank and forced Stuver into another stop at his near post. Two minutes later, Wolff finally came through to break the deadlock.

River, who have won just one of their last seven matches across all competitions, sit fifth in Group B with 18 points, five behind leaders Deportivo Riestra, who have a game in hand. Sarmiento moved into eighth in the playoff spots with 15 points. The hosts pressed from the start and came close to scoring but Sarmiento took an unexpected lead on the half-hour mark when Ivan Morales pounced on a Franco Armani error, the goalkeeper spilling the ball for the striker to slip it between his legs and in. River dominated possession after the break but struggled to break down Sarmiento's well-organised defence. Despite constantly reaching the area, the hosts failed to execute clear chances, drawing murmurs of frustration from the stands. While Sarmiento threatened on the counter, River's Paulo Diaz nearly levelled the score with a powerful long-range strike, but the ball clattered off the crossbar with less than 20 minutes remaining. In a dramatic finish, substitute Miguel Borja appeared to have scored a stoppage-time equaliser, only for VAR to intervene and rule the close-range finish offside four minutes into added time, sealing Sarmiento's shock win.
