Blue Jays One Win From Title as World Series Returns to Toronto for Game 6

Yoshinobu Yamamoto opposes Kevin Gausman in a Game 6 rematch at Rogers Centre.

Overview

  • Toronto leads the Series 3-2 after a 6-1 Game 5 win in Los Angeles, highlighted by rookie Trey Yesavage’s seven shutout frames with 12 strikeouts, a World Series rookie record.
  • First pitch for Game 6 is 8 p.m. ET Friday in Toronto, with Kevin Gausman starting for the Blue Jays and Yoshinobu Yamamoto for the Dodgers.
  • The Dodgers’ offense has stalled in the Series, hitting .201 through five games, with Mookie Betts 3-for-23 and Los Angeles limited to one run in Game 5.
  • Yamamoto is coming off consecutive complete games, including a four-hitter in Game 2, while Gausman matched him into the seventh before two solo homers decided that duel.
  • Rogers Centre is expected to be sold out for a potential clincher as betting markets tilt toward Toronto to end a 32-year championship drought.
