Toronto Blue Jays stage comeback as Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette lead team to 6-2 victory over Dodgers in Game 4.
The Toronto Blue Jays bounced back from Monday's arduous 18-inning marathon by edging the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-2 in Game 4 on Tuesday night, leveling the World Series at two games apiece. After a grueling contest that saw both teams running on fumes, the Blue Jays' offense suddenly came alive behind the potent hitting of Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette.
The game's early momentum shifted dramatically when Enrique Hernández delivered a sacrifice fly to give Los Angeles an initial 1-0 lead in the first inning. However, Guerrero Jr.'s two-run home run in the third inning proved pivotal, as Toronto took a commanding 3-1 advantage that it would never relinquish.
A two-RBI single from Bo Bichette in the seventh inning further solidified Toronto's advantage, leaving Los Angeles to struggle with a meager one run scored throughout the remaining innings. Despite Ohtani being charged with the loss after six innings of work and a four-run output against Toronto, the Blue Jays ultimately prevailed behind Shane Bieber, who earned the win by pitching 5 ⅓ scoreless innings.
In contrast, Los Angeles relied on just three relief pitchers to finish off the game, while its opponents required four additional pitchers. This marked another significant step for Shohei Ohtani, who demonstrated his remarkable talent as he became the first player since 1906 to achieve four extra-base hits in a World Series game and reached base nine times during the contest – tying an existing record.
