Overview
- Los Angeles won 3-1 in Game 6, capped by a rare finish featuring a wedged-ball ground-rule double and the first postseason game-ending left-field-to-second-base double play.
- Yoshinobu Yamamoto held Toronto to one run over six innings, while Kevin Gausman struck out eight but yielded a three-run third keyed by an intentional walk of Shohei Ohtani, Will Smith’s RBI double and Mookie Betts’ two-run single.
- Tyler Glasnow entered in the ninth with two on and none out and recorded a three-pitch save, and he said he will be available for Game 7.
- The Blue Jays will start Max Scherzer in Game 7, and the Dodgers are leaning toward Ohtani on three days’ rest, with Dave Roberts indicating nearly the entire staff is available.
- Alejandro Kirk was hit by a pitch to open Toronto’s ninth (X-rays were negative) before Addison Barger’s drive lodged under the wall for a ground-rule double, setting up the dramatic double play that ended the game.
