The pitching matchup is set for Game 6 of the American League Championship Series.

With a chance to earn their first World Series berth in franchise history, the Seattle Mariners will start right-hander Logan Gilbert on the mound Sunday night in Toronto’s Rogers Centre, according to Mariners insider Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports. The Blue Jays will counter with rookie right-hander Trey Yesavage, who was announced as the starter by Toronto manager John Schneider.

The Mariners grabbed a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven series with a dramatic Game 5 victory in Seattle on Friday night. The series now shifts back to Canada for its conclusion.

The Game 6 pitching matchup will be a rematch of last Monday’s Game 2, which Seattle won 10-3 in Toronto.

Gilbert allowed three runs – two earned – and five hits over three innings in his Game 2 start. He was pitching on just two days rest after throwing two-plus scoreless frames out of the bullpen in the Mariners’ 15-inning marathon victory over the Detroit Tigers in Game 5 of the AL Division Series, which was the first relief appearance of his MLB career.

Yesavage was charged with five runs and four hits in four-plus innings in Game 2, including a three-run homer by Julio Rodríguez in the first inning.

Both pitchers will be throwing Sunday on an extra day of rest. And neither logged a heavy workload in Game 2, with Gilbert throwing just 58 pitches and Yesavage throwing 70.

Game 6 of the ALCS is set for 5:03 p.m. Sunday at Toronto’s Rogers Centre. Radio coverage will be on Seattle Sports, with the TV broadcast airing on FS1.
