The Los Angeles Dodgers fans had chilling reactions to Toronto Blue Jays slugger George Springer getting drilled by a high-riding inside fastball from Yoshinobu Yamamoto in the third inning of Saturday's World Series Game 2.Yamamoto's high 90s fastball got Springer on his wrist as the Blue Jays' ALCS Game 7 hero and former Houston Astros 2017 World Series champion went down in pain.While Springer stayed in the game, meaning he avoided a major injury, Dodgers fans enjoyed the fact that somebody got Springer, who was part of a controversial and alleged sign-stealing squad that robbed the Dodgers of a championship eight years ago."He knows he's cheating again," one fan wrote."Yamamoto doesn’t miss like that… Dodgers think Springer is back on his cheating game," one fan commented."My favorite pitch of the day even if it cost us a run lol," another fan added."Come on please don’t cry," one fan said.However, some fans were not happy with the wild pitch as it costed them a run."Cost us a run," one fan wrote."HBP comes back to bite Yamamoto. Can’t do that to good hitting teams," another fan posted."wtf, what is with our SPs? throwing all sorts of garbage in two games," one fan commented.Yoshinobu Yamamoto's stellar outing ties World Series in Game 2Yoshinobu Yamamoto was entrusted to tie the World Series for the Dodgers, after the club was blown out by the Blue Jays in the first game. The pitcher went on to post a great outing to help the Dodgers win Game 2 5-1 and tie the World Series 1-1 before departing for LA.Yamamoto pitched a complete game, allowing just four hits for one earned run while punching out eight hitters. The only run Yamamoto allowed was Alejandro Kirk's sac-fly that drove in George Springer in the third inning. Apart from that, he has looked stellar and has enjoyed a strong offensive support from the Dodgers, who had a pair of two-run innings in the seventh and eighth.With the win, the Dodgers will enter the home stretch of the World Series, where they'll hope to take the lead and get one step closer to repeating as champions.
