Toronto: The Los Angeles Dodgers have secured a 3-1 victory against the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 6 of the World Series, keeping their pursuit of back-to-back Major League Baseball titles alive. This win has levelled the series, forcing a decisive Game 7 in Toronto.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto has led the Dodgers with six solid innings, striking out six and allowing only one run on five hits. Mookie Betts and Will Smith have contributed crucial runs, helping the Dodgers take an early 3-0 lead.
The Blue Jays, trailing by two runs after the third inning, struggled to capitalise on late-game opportunities despite strong efforts from Addison Barger and George Springer.

A controversial ninth-inning play involving a lodged ball at the outfield fence briefly raised hopes for Toronto. However, a video review ruled it a ground rule double, leaving runners stranded on second and third. The Dodgers’ infield responded with tight defence, sealing the win with a double play.
The Blue Jays had earlier taken a 3-2 lead in the series, dismantling the Dodgers’ otherwise dependable pitching rotation. But Yamamoto’s command and the bullpen’s improved performance have restored Los Angeles’s momentum. The eighth and ninth innings saw renewed tension, with Roki Sasaki closing crucial plays to deny Toronto’s comeback attempts.
Game 7 will now decide whether the Dodgers can become MLB’s first repeat champions in 25 years or if the Blue Jays will claim their first title in more than three decades. The decisive game will take place on Saturday in Toronto, promising a historic showdown for both sides.
