Overview
- The Dodgers beat the Blue Jays 3-1 in Game 6 at Rogers Centre, tying the World Series 3-3 and setting up Saturday night’s winner-take-all finale.
- Toronto’s ninth inning began with Alejandro Kirk hit by a pitch before Addison Barger’s deep drive wedged under the left-field padding and was ruled a ground-rule double, placing runners on second and third with no outs.
- Tyler Glasnow, shifted from a planned Game 7 start to relief, ended the threat in three pitches, punctuated by Kiké Hernández’s catch and Miguel Rojas’ tag to double off Barger for the first postseason game-ending left-field-to-second double play on record.
- The dead-ball ruling erased an apparent tying run and raised Toronto’s win expectancy to roughly 43% before the final two outs, according to CBS Sports.
- Yoshinobu Yamamoto delivered six innings of one-run ball to outduel Kevin Gausman, with Will Smith and Mookie Betts providing all three Los Angeles runs in the third.
