World Series, Game 4: Blue Jays tied with Dodgers after Guerrero Jnr’s two-run homer
Toronto keep alive their hopes of a first Major League Baseball crown in 32 years
Vladimir Guerrero Jnr blasted a two-run home run as the Toronto Blue Jays bounced back to defeat the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-2 and tie the World Series at two games apiece on Tuesday.
Less than 24 hours after a shattering 18-inning game three loss, the Blue Jays climbed off the canvas to breathe new life into their hopes of a first Major League Baseball title in 32 years.
Guerrero’s two-run blast off Dodgers starter Shohei Ohtani and a superb pitching performance from ace Shane Bieber laid the foundations for a gutsy victory that silenced Dodger Stadium.
“I’m always trying to compete for my city, compete for the team, and when you’re competing, good things happen,” said Guerrero after a victory that ensures the best-of-seven series will head back to Toronto for game six on Friday.
Blue Jays manager John Schneider praised his team’s ability to recover from Monday’s heartbreak.
“It’s hard to play 18 innings and come back and kind of flip the narrative against a very talented team and a very talented individual in Shohei Ohtani on the mound,” Schneider said. “I feel really good about just us. I feel good about us every night.”
