Overview
- With two outs and the bases loaded in the 12th, Clayton Kershaw coaxed an eight-pitch grounder from Nathan Lukes to halt Toronto’s rally.
- Kershaw said he had never previously entered a major-league game in extra innings or with the bases loaded.
- Los Angeles won 6-5 on Freddie Freeman’s walk-off home run in the 18th at Dodger Stadium to take a 2-1 World Series edge.
- Fox cameras and an MLB-posted video showed Ellen Kershaw visibly emotional during the moment, and Kershaw joked she was "not reliever ready."
- After the bullpen worked 13 1/3 innings, Kershaw is among the freshest arms and is likelier to see additional relief duty as the series moves on.
