The Toronto Blue Jays have evened up the Major League Baseball (MLB) World Series at two games apiece with a thrilling 6-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 4. Vladimir Guerrero Jr's two-run homer was the decisive blow, helping his team recover from an 18-inning loss in Game 3.
The Blue Jays' Shane Bieber pitched into the sixth inning, limiting the Dodgers to just four hits and three walks with six strikeouts. Meanwhile, Shohei Ohtani struggled at the plate for the Dodgers, going 0-for-3 with a walk and two strikeouts after reaching base nine times in Game 3.
The game was neck-and-neck until Guerrero Jr stepped up to the plate in the third inning, hitting a deep shot to left-center that gave the Blue Jays a 2-1 lead. The long ball marked the seventh of the postseason for Guerrero, who had entered the night without an RBI in the Fall Classic.
In the seventh inning, the Blue Jays took control with four-run homer from Andres Gimenez, which put them up by five runs. Bo Bichette and Addison Barger also added RBI hits to seal the victory. The Dodgers were unable to mount a comeback, despite getting back one run in the ninth inning on a groundout.
The win sets up a pivotal Game 5 in the best-of-seven series, scheduled for Wednesday night at Dodger Stadium.
