All 3 Mariners that homered tonight have a first name that starts with “J”

Julio Rodríguez, Jorge Polanco & Josh Naylor.

🔱 Against the JAYS.
🔱 J is 10th letter in alphabet; M’s scored 10 runs.
🔱 Julio (and Polo): first Mariners with 3+ run HR in ALCS since JAY Buhner.

This is only going to make Roberts trust Treinen more. Brewers are playing the long game.

Here's the play in question. Bases loaded, one out, CF doesn't make the catch but hits the cutoff man, who relays home for a force out, after which the C runs to 3rd and gets the third out. The umpires made the correct calls the whole way. It was the Dodger baserunners who messed it all up.
