Overview
- Los Angeles beat Toronto 3-1 in Game 6 to level the World Series at 3-3, setting up a winner-take-all finale at Rogers Centre on Saturday night.
- In the ninth inning, Addison Barger’s drive became lodged under the outfield padding and was ruled a ground-rule double after time was called, a decision confirmed on replay that placed runners on second and third.
- Dodgers manager Dave Roberts turned to Tyler Glasnow out of the bullpen, and Kiké Hernández caught Andrés Giménez’s liner and fired to Miguel Rojas to double off Barger at second for the final out.
- Toronto confirmed Max Scherzer for the decider, while the Dodgers have not named a starter with Shohei Ohtani and Glasnow both under consideration.
- Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Kevin Gausman each worked six strong innings, and a third-inning burst featuring a Will Smith RBI double and Mookie Betts’ two-run single held up as fan backlash to the lodged-ball call grew despite the ruling aligning with ground rules.
