Seattle Mariners at Toronto Blue Jays: Final Score & Recap

The Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Seattle Mariners 4-3 at Rogers Centre on August 29, 2026, completing a comeback from a 3-0 deficit to claim a victory that the DiamondIQ model had assigned a 56 percent pre-game home win probability before ultimately settling at 100 percent. Seattle built its lead through the second and fourth innings, with the fourth-inning damage highlighted by Taylor Ward's single off José Soriano that swung win probability 16.2 percent in Seattle's favor, the single largest play of the game. Toronto answered in the fifth and sixth innings, scoring two runs in each frame to erase the advantage entirely and take control of the contest for good.

The pivotal sequence began in the bottom of the fifth, when George Springer drew a walk off Eduard Bazardo that shifted win probability 15.4 percent toward Toronto. The sixth inning proved equally decisive, as Brett Bateman singled off José A. Ferrer for a 13.4 percent swing, followed immediately by an Alejandro Kirk single off the same pitcher for an additional 11.9 percent move. Those two blows effectively transferred command of the game to the Blue Jays. Myles Straw also contributed a groundout in the eighth off Carlos Vargas that added 7.8 percent to Toronto's win probability, further sealing the outcome.

Among position players, Myles Straw led all batters with a cumulative WPA of plus-16.0 percent, while George Springer posted the highest RE24 of the group at plus-1.4 alongside a plus-15.6 percent WPA, and Brett Bateman added plus-14.4 percent WPA.
