Blue Jays Level World Series with 6-2 Victory Against Dodgers in Game 4

In a thrilling contest on Tuesday night, the Toronto Blue Jays leveled the World Series with a decisive 6-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 4 at Dodger Stadium. This win came in response to their previous 18-inning loss, which had left the team feeling disheartened but determined.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Shines in Game 4

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. played a pivotal role in the victory, hitting a two-run homer off Dodgers pitcher Shohei Ohtani in the third inning. Guerrero’s home run marked his seventh of the postseason, solidifying his status as a key player for Toronto. He encouraged his teammates after their tough Game 3, reminding them that four wins are necessary to clinch the World Series.

Pitching Performances

Shane Bieber, making his World Series debut, showcased his talent by pitching four-hit ball through the sixth inning. Bieber’s performance included six strikeouts and limited the Dodgers to just one run. Following his departure, Mason Fluharty came in to continue the strong showing from the mound.

Dodgers Struggles

• Shohei Ohtani, despite being a two-way superstar, struggled against the Blue Jays.
• Ohtani allowed four runs on six hits over more than six innings pitched.
• The Dodgers managed only six hits throughout the game, with no extra-base hits after Kiké Hernández’s sacrifice fly scored the first run.

Ohtani’s performance was notable as he pitched just over 17 hours after an impressive outing in the previous game. He faced difficulties, yielding runs in a critical seventh inning, which included two runs scored by the Blue Jays as they dominated the inning.

Game Highlights

The game switched momentum when Guerrero hit his towering homer, lifting the Blue Jays out of an extended scoring drought. Torres added to the offensive pressure as the inning progressed, leading to a total of four runs scored in the seventh.
