Los Angeles produced all of their offense in the third inning. With two outs, Shohei Ohtani was intentionally walked before Will Smith doubled to left to score Tommy Edman. Freddie Freeman drew a walk to load the bases, and Mookie Betts came through with a two-run single to left, giving the Dodgers a 3–0 lead. Betts’ hit snapped a postseason slump and revived the defending champions’ hopes of becoming the first repeat World Series winners since the New York Yankees won three straight from 1998 through 2000.
Kevin Gausman had been nearly unhittable to that point, striking out six of the first seven Dodgers he faced. He fanned eight through three innings, tying a World Series record, but the third-inning barrage proved costly. The Toronto ace finished with eight strikeouts over six innings, allowing three runs on three hits and two walks.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto, meanwhile, was steady again under pressure. The 27-year-old right-hander outdueled Gausman for the second time in a week, giving up one run on five hits over six innings with six strikeouts. He improved to 4–1 this postseason with a 1.56 ERA. The only run against him came on George Springer’s two-out single in the third, scoring Addison Barger, who had doubled earlier in the inning. Springer’s hit provided a brief spark in his return to the lineup after missing two games with an oblique injury.
From there, the Dodgers’ bullpen carried the load. Rookie Justin Wrobleski escaped a jam in the seventh, and fellow rookie Rōki Sasaki worked into the ninth before hitting Alejandro Kirk to open the inning. Barger followed with a double that became wedged under the left-center-field fence, forcing runners to hold at second and third. Tyler Glasnow, Los Angeles’ Game 3 starter, came on in relief and induced a popout before Andrés Giménez lined to left. Enrique Hernández made the catch and fired to second to double off Barger, sealing the win and earning Glasnow his first career save.
The series now comes down to one game. Max Scherzer will start for Toronto, becoming the only living pitcher to start multiple World Series Game 7s after doing so in 2019 with Washington. The 40-year-old signed a one-year deal to chase one more title and has been a vocal leader throughout this postseason.
The Dodgers, looking to become baseball’s first back-to-back champions in nearly a quarter-century, are expected to lean on Shohei Ohtani for a short outing.
