TORONTO (AP) — Toronto's George Springer homered on the first pitch from Seattle's Bryce Miller in the AL Championship Series opener on Sunday, moving past the New York Yankees' Derek Jeter into sole possession of fifth place on the career list with his 21st postseason home run.
Springer’s 385-foot drive to right field on a fastball at the outside corner put Toronto ahead with the first postseason leadoff home run in Blue Jays history. Springer has 63 leadoff homers in the regular season, second to Rickey Henderson’s record 81.
