LA Dodgers Hold On in Canada to Set Up Winner-Take-All Game 7 in World Series
The championship series is going to a decisive Game 7 following the Dodgers kept alive their title defense hopes alive on Friday with a 3–1 win over the Blue Jays in Game 6.
The defending champions halted Toronto’s ninth-inning rally with a thrilling game-ending double play, stunning a Rogers Centre crowd that had arrived prepared to cheer the city’s first title in 32 years.
Game 6 Summary
Los Angeles generated all of their offense in the third inning. With two outs, Ohtani was intentionally walked before Will Smith hit a two-bagger to left to bring home Edman. Freddie Freeman drew a walk to fill the bases, and Betts delivered with a two-RBI hit to the opposite field, giving the Dodgers a 3–0 lead.
Betts’ hit broke a playoff dry spell and rekindled the defending champions’ hopes of becoming the first repeat World Series victors since the Yankees captured three consecutive from 1998 to 2000.
Mound Battle
Kevin Gausman had been dominant to that stage, striking out six of the initial seven Dodgers he confronted. He fanned eight through three innings, matching a Fall Classic mark, but the third-inning barrage proved decisive. The Blue Jays' star finished with 8 Ks over six innings, yielding three runs on three hits and two walks.
Yamamoto, in contrast, was steady again under pressure. The 27-year-old right-hander outpitched Gausman for the second occasion in a seven days, allowing a single run on five hits over six frames with six Ks. He improved to four wins and one loss this playoffs with a 1.56 ERA.
The only run against him resulted from George Springer two-out base hit in the third inning, driving in Addison Barger, who had doubled previously in the frame. Springer’s hit offered a brief spark in his comeback to the starting nine after sitting out two games with an oblique injury.
Bullpen Heroics
From there, the Dodgers’ bullpen carried the load. Rookie Wrobleski got out of a tight spot in the seventh inning, and fellow rookie Sasaki worked into the ninth inning before hitting Kirk to open the frame. Barger followed with a double that became wedged under the left-center-field fence, forcing base runners to hold at second and third base.
Glasnow, the Dodgers' third game starting pitcher, came on in a relief role and got a pop fly before Giménez hit a line drive to left field. Hernández made the catch and threw to second to double off the runner, sealing the victory and earning the pitcher his first-ever save.
Next Up: Game 7
The best-of-seven now boils down to one game. Max Scherzer will start for Toronto, becoming the only living pitcher to pitch in more than one World Series Game 7s after doing so in 2019 with the Nationals. The 40-year-old signed a single-season contract to pursue one more title and has been a outspoken presence throughout this playoff run.
The Dodgers, aiming to be baseball’s initial repeat title winners in nearly a quarter-century, are projected to lean on their two-way star for a brief appearance.
