Dodgers Force Game 7 After Ground-Rule Double Ruling and Three-Pitch Escape

Dave Roberts says Shohei Ohtani will be used in Game 7, likely as the starter to keep his bat in the lineup.

Overview

  • The Dodgers won 3-1 to level the series 3-3 and set up a winner-take-all Game 7 at Rogers Centre tonight.
  • Addison Barger’s deep drive became lodged under the wall and was ruled a ground-rule double, placing runners on second and third.
  • MLB replay upheld the dead-ball call, which under Rule 5.05(a)(7) awards two bases when a fair ball sticks in or under the fence.
  • Tyler Glasnow entered and got three outs on three pitches, then said he will be available to pitch in Game 7.
  • Kiké Hernández made a running catch in shallow left and doubled off Barger to end the game; Toronto is expected to start Max Scherzer, and Los Angeles plans to involve Ohtani, likely as the listed starter under the Ohtani Rule.
