World Series Game 3: Dodgers Outlast Blue Jays in Epic 18-Inning Game
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Freddie Freeman homered leading off the bottom of the 18th inning, Shohei Ohtani went deep twice in another record-setting performance and the Los Angeles Dodgers outlasted the Toronto Blue Jays 6-5 in Game 3 on Monday night to win a World Series classic.
The defending champion Dodgers took a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven matchup and still have a chance to win the title at home — something they haven’t done since 1963.
The Game-Winning Home Run
Freeman connected off Brendon Little, sending a 406-foot drive to straightaway center field to finally end a game that lasted 6 hours, 39 minutes and matched the longest by innings in World Series history.
Ohtani’s Record-Setting Performance
Ohtani homered twice and tied a 119-year-old major league record with four extra-base hits in Game 3, putting on yet another historic postseason show at Dodger Stadium.
After his four-hit barrage in the first seven innings, Ohtani drew five consecutive walks in this epic 18-inning World Series game, making him the first major leaguer in 83 years to reach base nine times in any game, let alone the postseason.
Blue Jays’ Support
While the Dodgers may be the favorite, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and the Blue Jays have an entire country behind them.
