Blue Jays rally from Dodgers to tie World Series after extra-inning marathon
NEWNow you can listen to News articles!
The best-of-seven World Series is tied at two games apiece.
The Toronto Blue Jays bounced back from Monday’s epic 18-inning marathon to beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-2 in Game 4 on Tuesday night. Both teams were exhausted after the nearly seven-hour standoff, but Toronto’s offense came to life behind Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette.
A sacrifice fly by Enrique Hernández gave the Dodgers an early lead, but Guerrero Jr.’s two-run homer in the third inning put Toronto ahead for good.

The Blue Jays bounced back just hours after country music star Brad Paisley declared himself “Mr. More Baseball.” The singer performed the national anthem before the Game 3 marathon. The Dodgers won 6-5 with Freddie Freeman’s game-ending home run nearly seven hours after Paisley’s performance.

Shohei Ohtani, one of the Dodgers’ heroes this postseason, started Game 4 for Los Angeles. He went six innings, allowing four earned runs and striking out six.
The two-way star made history just one night earlier, becoming the first player since 1906 to record four extra-base hits in a World Series game and reach base nine times, tying a Series record.

Bo Bichette had a two-RBI single in the seventh to extend the Blue Jays’ lead. Shane Bieber earned the win for Toronto, pitching 5 ⅓ innings and allowing just one run. Ohtani was blamed for the loss.
