The 2025 World Series is living up to the hype. After a draining (and nearly record-breaking) 18-inning loss in Game 3, the Toronto Blue Jays bounced back in emphatic fashion Tuesday night, defeating the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-2 at Dodger Stadium to even the series.
Shane Bieber turned in a strong outing for Toronto, while Vladimir Guerrero Jr. powered the offense with a towering two-run homer off Shohei Ohtani — his seventh blast of the postseason and a new franchise record. The Blue Jays piled on four runs in the seventh to put the game out of reach, showing the resilience that has defined their playoff run.
Ohtani, coming off a historic nine-times-on-base performance in Game 3, surrendered five runs before exiting in the seventh. His fatigue showed after throwing over 100 pitches, and the Dodgers’ bullpen couldn’t stop the bleeding. Manager Dave Roberts hinted that lineup changes may be coming as L.A. continues to search for offense beyond Ohtani.
With the series tied 2-2, tonight’s Game 5 looms large. Both teams’ bullpens are taxed after ultramarathon games, but the Blue Jays return to Rogers Centre guaranteed at least one more home crowd — and the confidence of a team that seems to play best with its back against the wall.
