Blue Jays Even Series With Game 4 Win

The Toronto Blue Jays evened the World Series at 2-2 with a 6-2 Game 4 win at Dodger Stadium, a nine-inning follow-up to Monday’s 18-inning marathon. In Game 3, the Los Angeles Dodgers prevailed 6-5 in 18 innings on Freddie Freeman’s walk-off homer while Shohei Ohtani reached base nine times, going 4-for-4 with two homers and two doubles. Ohtani made his World Series pitching debut in Game 4, lasting six innings with six strikeouts and allowing four earned runs before being pulled in the seventh. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit a two-run homer in the third to extend his franchise postseason record to seven homers, and Toronto broke the game open with a four-run seventh against Dodgers relievers Anthony Banda and Blake Treinen. Shane Bieber struck out Ohtani to end his multi-game on-base streak, George Springer remained sidelined, and Blue Jays manager John Schneider has defended continuing to pitch around Ohtani after repeated intentional walks.
