Blue Jays Tie World Series with Game 4 Win

The Toronto Blue Jays beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-2 in Game 4 at Dodger Stadium to even the World Series 2-2. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit a two-run third-inning homer that gave Toronto the lead and extended his franchise postseason home run record to seven. Shohei Ohtani — who reached base nine times in the 18-inning Game 3 — took the mound on roughly 17 hours' rest, yielded Guerrero’s homer and absorbed his first career postseason pitching loss after a four-run Blue Jays rally in the seventh. Shane Bieber delivered a steady start and Toronto’s bullpen and timely hitting from Bo Bichette and several role players shut down a Dodgers comeback. The 18-inning marathon the night before left both clubs taxed and renewed debate over extra-inning rules; the series now moves to Game 5 at Dodger Stadium with Games 6 (and potentially 7) scheduled for Rogers Centre.
