From that moment on, Toronto took control of the match. Ohtani, who had started with precision, was punished by the visiting offense in the middle innings. The Los Angeles bullpen tried to stop the Canadian production, but the seventh inning was decisive for the development of the game.
Andrés Giménez drove in Daulton Varsho with a single to left field, extending the lead to 3-1. Then, a ground ball by Ty France allowed Ernie Clement to come to the plate, and a new unstoppable Bo Bichette brought another run on Giménez’s spikes. The offensive ended with Addison Barger, who hit an RBI single that brought Guerrero Jr. home, closing the four-score rally in the inning.
The Toronto bullpen maintained control in the final innings, preventing any attempt at a reaction by the Dodgers; at least until the last chapter, when Teoscar Hernández appeared at home after a hit by Tommy Edman. The production offered nothing more.
Victory allows the Blue Jays tie the 2025 World Series 2-2. The contest will resume this Wednesday, October 29 at Dodgers Stadiumwhere The Canadian team will seek to take advantage and thus be able to go home in search of being crowned in front of their home crowd.
