Kirby didn't factor into the decision during Monday's 4-3 loss in Game 7 of the American League Championship Series against the Blue Jays, allowing one run on four hits and one walk while striking out three over four innings.

EDGE Analysis

Kirby was tagged for a run in the bottom of the first inning after issuing a leadoff walk, followed by a pair of singles. However, he was able to escape the jam without suffering further damage and exited the matchup with a lead. The Mariners would later surrender a two-run lead in the seventh, bringing the right-hander's postseason run to an end. Kirby responded nicely from a disastrous outing in Game 3, when he surrendered eight runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out four in four-plus frames.
