Dodgers Force Game 7 with Historic Double Play

The Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Toronto Blue Jays 3-1 in Game 6 at Rogers Centre to force a winner-take-all Game 7 on Saturday, Nov. 1. Los Angeles scored all three runs in a three-run third inning, keyed by a two-run single from Mookie Betts, and ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto worked six effective innings. The bullpen (Justin Wrobleski, Roki Sasaki and Tyler Glasnow) closed out the game, with Glasnow recording the final three outs on three pitches. In the bottom of the ninth with runners at second and third and one out, Kiké Hernández caught a broken-bat liner in the lights and threw to Miguel Rojas, who doubled off Addison Barger for the first game-ending 7-4 (left field-to-second) double play in postseason history. The dramatic ending denied Toronto a potential walk-off title and set up a decisive Game 7 at Rogers Centre, with the Blue Jays likely to turn to veteran arms including Max Scherzer and Glasnow expected to be available for Los Angeles.
