Overview
- A ninth-inning drive by Addison Barger became wedged at the base of the wall and was ruled a ground-rule double, sending Toronto’s apparent tying runs back to second and third with no outs.
- Kiké Hernández then caught Andrés Giménez’s liner in shallow left and doubled Barger off second to end the game, the first left field-to-second base game-ending double play in postseason history.
- Yoshinobu Yamamoto held the Blue Jays to one run over six innings, and Los Angeles scored three in the third after an intentional walk to Shohei Ohtani set up RBI hits by Will Smith and Mookie Betts.
- Tyler Glasnow, previously lined up to start Game 7, entered in the ninth and recorded the final three outs, prompting the Dodgers to keep their Game 7 pitching plan flexible.
- The series is tied 3-3 for a winner-take-all at Rogers Centre, with Scherzer confirmed for Toronto and the Dodgers considering Ohtani on three days’ rest as multiple arms remain available out of both bullpens.
