Another super exciting finish - after giving up a walk instead of a game winning stroke, Cabrera prompts a pop out to centre, and the Jays won the game, and the series! We sure got an entertaining weekend - thanks, Seattle! #tothecore#bluejays#JaysWest#gojaysgo

Into the tenth, jays go ahead by 1! #tothecore#bluejays#JaysWest#gojaysgo
