For the first time since 1993, the Toronto Blue Jays are heading to the World Series. 

And they can thank the man who has won one for the chance. 

In the bottom of the seventh inning, with runners on second and third with nobody out, George Springer stepped to the plate with the chance to tie a 3-1 ball game in favor of the Seattle Mariners, a team desperate for its first-ever World Series appearance in franchise history.

Springer decided to do one better, sitting on a fastball from Eduard Bazardo and launching it over the left field fence to take a 4-3 lead. That was the swing needed for the Blue Jays to cement their American League pennant victory. 

The Blue Jays will now face the reigning-champion Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 1 of the World Series on Friday night. 

BLUE JAYS FORCE GAME 7 WITH CRUCIAL WIN OVER MARINERS

This was a series filled with theatrics from the very start, but the Blue Jays found themselves heading back home down 3-2 in the series and needing two straight victories to be crowned pennant winners. They made that happen on Sunday night, as Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Addison Barger delivered home runs to force a win-or-go-home Game 7. 

But Monday night didn’t start the way Toronto would’ve liked, as Josh Naylor put Seattle ahead early with an RBI single to score Julio Rodriguez. However, Daulton Varsho, who has been another clutch Blue Jays hitter throughout the postseason, smacked a single to center to score Springer to knot the game at one apiece. 

Then, in the top of the third inning, Rodriguez got the Mariners back on top, belting a solo home run to deep left center field. And who other than Cal Raleigh, the AL MVP hopeful, coming through when his team needed him with a solo home run himself to make it a 3-1 ball game in the top of the fifth inning. 

With the Mariners’ pitching staff being one of the best in baseball all year, there were options for who to deploy late in the game considering it was an all-hands-on-deck situation. Mariners manager Dan Wilson went with Bryan Woo after George Kirby gave him four innings, and Woo gave him clean fifth and sixth innings. 

But Woo opened the door with a walk to Barger to begin the seventh inning, and Isiah Kiner-Falefa woke up Rogers Centre with a single that left runners on first and second with nobody out. After Andres Gimenez moved them over with a sacrifice bunt, Bazardo came in to face Springer. 

Springer came out on top. 

Jeff Hoffman finished off the Mariners in the ninth inning, striking out all three batters, including Rodriguez, to start the celebration. 

The Blue Jays are hoping they can do what that team did in 1993, as the Toronto team secured back-to-back World Series titles that season.

John Stamos defended his "Full House" co-star Lori Loughlin for putting up "with a lot over the years" during her relationship with estranged husband Mossimo Giannulli.

Loughlin and Giannulli are "living apart" now after 27 years of marriage, representatives confirmed to Fox News Digital. "There are no legal proceedings underway."

During Monday's episode of the "Good Guys" podcast, Stamos claimed it was the fashion designer who was responsible for getting Loughlin caught up in the 2019 college admissions scandal. 

LORI LOUGHLIN SPLITS FROM FASHION DESIGNER HUSBAND FIVE YEARS AFTER COLLEGE ADMISSIONS SCANDAL

Their separation came five years after the couple were entangled in the Operation Varsity Blues scandal, pleading guilty to wire and mail fraud related to paying hundreds of thousands in bribes to get their daughters into the University of Southern California.

"40 years I’ve known her," Stamos said. "You can see through people after a few years. This woman’s a saint. I’m just heartbroken for her right now."

Stamos "really tried to be there" for his former co-star during the scandal, and claimed that Giannulli was "a terrible narcissist."

"I’m not going to debate whether she had much to do with it or not. I know she didn’t," he said before claiming Giannulli "dragged her through that."

"She’s not a liar. She’s a saint," Stamos said before remembering he called to check on Loughlin when the scandal news broke. She allegedly told him that "Mossimo handles all that stuff."

Loughlin served nearly three months in prison and Giannulli served five months behind bars. They were released in December 2020 and April 2021.

"She goes to f--ing prison for this a--hole for three months, right? And he goes for whatever," Stamos said. "And in typical Lori fashion, I said, ‘How was it?’ She goes, ‘You know, I met a lot of nice ladies in there. We have a book club.'"

He continued, "She didn’t deserve to be dragged through that … I know for a fact it was all him."

Stamos admitted that Loughlin was "just devastated" to split up with her husband of 27 years. 

"For a girl who, you know, has lived her life really well, [is] a good person, a good mother, a good wife," he said. "I know all this for a fact. To be thrown into, now, this separation and exploding, blowing up her family this way. And I just hate to see her go through this."

When asked about cheating allegations, Stamos was "taking a fifth," but noted, "Whatever he did to her, it busted her up to the core."

Loughlin recently made light of the scandal when she played a version of herself in an episode of "Curb Your Enthusiasm." In the episode, main character Larry David helps the actress get into a country club when she’s bogged down with her legal drama. 

Her character also has a fake handicapped license plate and cheats at golf.

In an interview with First for Women last year, Loughlin talked about perseverance. 

"Every day, we’re met with different obstacles. But, for me, it’s like that song says, ‘I get knocked down, but I get up again,’" she said. "Nobody said life was going to be a breeze; we all make mistakes, but the important thing is to persevere."
