The Mariners still lead the American League West, but the three-game series against Toronto was one they will certainly want to forget.

George Springer hit a three-run homer as the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the host Seattle Mariners 9-1 Sunday afternoon to complete a sweep of the three-game series.

As Mae reported, it was presumed Kirk got removed due to being struck on a follow through swing. This was confirmed after the game, and the Blue Jays announced an official injury designation via manager John Schneider.
