Morning Briefing: Blue Jays Take Game 4, Even World Series
Good morning, Mets fans!
The Blue Jays evened the World Series at two games apiece with a 6-2 victory over the Dodgers in Game 4 at Dodger Stadium, bouncing back from the exhausting 18-inning loss in Game 3. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit a crucial early home run off Shohei Ohtani, giving Toronto the lead, while Shane Bieber delivered a strong start, allowing just one run over 5 1/3 innings. Key outs from rookie Mason Fluharty and clutch some clutch relief work from Chris Bassitt and Louis Varland helped keep the Dodgers in check late in the game.
Toronto broke the game open in the seventh inning, scoring four runs against a fatigued Shohei Ohtani and Los Angeles’ bullpen, with RBIs from Andrés Giménez, Ty France, Bo Bichette and Addison Barger.
Game 5 is set for today in Los Angeles, with young Trey Yesavage (2-1, 4.26 ERA) starting for the Blue Jays against Blake Snell (3-1, 2.42 ERA) at 8:00 p.m. ET. Both teams will aim to seize the series lead before it returns to Toronto for a pivotal Game 6.
