Overview
- The World Series is tied 3-3 after Los Angeles won Game 6, 3-1, on a ninth-inning sequence that included a lodged-ball ground-rule double and a game-ending left-field-to-second-base double play by Kiké Hernández.
- Toronto confirmed Max Scherzer as its Game 7 starter, while multiple outlets report the Dodgers plan to start Shohei Ohtani on short rest, with a final decision still pending.
- Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said every pitcher except Yoshinobu Yamamoto is available for Game 7, and Tyler Glasnow — who recorded the final outs in Game 6 — remains in the mix.
- Yamamoto delivered six strong innings in Game 6, and the Dodgers’ offense came in a three-run third highlighted by Will Smith’s RBI double and Mookie Betts’ two-run single.
- The winner-take-all game will be at Toronto’s Rogers Centre, with the Dodgers chasing a rare repeat title and the Blue Jays seeking their first championship since 1993.
