In a nail-biting twist, the Los Angeles Dodgers have edged out the Toronto Blue Jays 3-1 in Game 6 of the World Series, sending the Fall Classic into a thrilling Game 7. This marks the first Game 7 matchup since the Houston Astros and Washington Nationals faced off in 2019.
The Dodgers' offense finally started to click after struggling to find its footing in previous games, particularly in their early struggles against Blue Jays pitcher Kevin Gausman. However, with Tommy Edman's game-changing double in the third inning, Los Angeles' fortunes began to shift. Edman's line-drive double allowed his team to catch a break and eventually gave them a much-needed spark.
Gausman managed to recover somewhat from his early struggles but ultimately found himself in hot water when he walked Shohei Ohtani, leaving him in a precarious position. However, this was swiftly mitigated by Los Angeles' timely hitting. With runners on first and second base, Will Smith's double in the third inning scored Edman for the game's first run.
The Dodgers continued to pile on runs as catcher Will Smith walked Freddy Freeman in the next at-bat, loading up the bases for cleanup hitter Mookie Betts. Following four pitches from Gausman, Betts hit a crucial ground ball between third and second base that allowed Ohtani and Smith to score, putting Los Angeles ahead 3-0.
The Blue Jays managed to cut into the deficit later in the game when George Springer scored after hitting a line-drive single. Despite a late push, Toronto was unable to overcome the Dodgers' early lead. With Tyler Glasnow securing the win for his team, the Dodgers have now forced a decisive Game 7.
If they are to win on Saturday, this would mark Toronto's first World Series title since their back-to-back wins in 1992 and 1993. The stage is set for an electrifying final showdown between these two top teams.
