Jays' Springer is carted away after collision in loss to Mariners

On the verge of evening their wildcard series with the Mariners on Saturday in Toronto, the Blue Jays instead suffered a devastating season-ending defeat after center fielder George Springer collided with shortstop Bo Bichette in the eighth inning, allowing Seattle to tie the game.

Seattle would go on to win Game 2, 10-9, after an Adam Frazier double in the ninth scored catcher Cal Raleigh. The Mariners had trailed by seven runs earlier in the game.

With two out and the bases loaded in the eighth, Mariners star J.P. Crawford hit a blooper into shallow center field. Springer and Bichette went hard after the ball, but it landed as the two collided. All three runners scored on the double, tying it 9.
