It’s the World Series, where the stakes are the highest in baseball, and it can turn America’s pastime into a gruelling endurance sport. And that was certainly the case in Game 3 between the Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday night. The teams fought, emptied their bullpens and pushed themselves to the limit for 18 innings before Freddie Freeman’s walk-off home run in the bottom of the 18th ended the marathon and gave the Dodgers a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series.
The deciding Game 6 takes place in Toronto on Friday. And although the Blue Jays have a much easier road to the final destination, they will need to win four times in the next five games to capture their first championship since 1992.
While the Dodgers are the favorite to win their second consecutive title, there’s no doubt that the Blue Jays are one of the best teams in the history of this event. And they have some unlikely heroes to thank for that improbable feat, starting with Dodgers reliever Will Klein.
After a long day that featured several high-profile sports events, a lot of sports fans slept in on Wednesday. But that didn’t stop them from enjoying some memorable moments from the previous day, including a hat trick from Patrick Mahomes, an overtime goal by Sidney Crosby and Victor Wembanyama’s stunning hat trick for Japan.
