Toronto has lost back-to-back games in the series. A Major League Baseball writer is calling for Toronto to <a href="https://x.com/stephenjnesbitt/status/1983217882042454386" rel="noopener">shake things up</a> in the batting order, in order to get the offense going again.</p><p>“Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hasn’t driven in anybody but himself in the past 10 games. The Jays need to get him more at-bats with RISP and pitchers working out of the stretch. If George Springer is out, I’m moving Bo Bichette ahead of Guerrero in the lineup,” The Athletic’s Stephen Nesbitt posted to X, formerly Twitter.</p><p>George Springer got hurt and left Game 3 of the World Series Monday night. He underwent an MRI. The Blue Jays lost a heartbreaking 18-inning game, 6-5, to the Los Angeles Dodgers.</p><p>Game 4 pits Dodgers two-way star Shohei Ohtani, against Toronto’s Shane Bieber. Los Angeles leads the series 2-1.</p><h2><b>Blue Jays hope the bats get going in Game 4</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Blue-Jays-Davis-Schneider.jpg"><figcaption>© Kirby Lee-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Toronto showcased some high-octane offense to get into the World Series. The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/toronto-blue-jays/blue-jays-cruise-world-series-defeating-yankees-alds">Blue Jays powered past the New York Yankees</a> in the ALDS. They also posted runs at a strong pace to battle past the Seattle Mariners in the ALCS.</p><p>Toronto’s offense was there once again in Game 1 of the World Series. The Blue Jays scored 11 runs in Game 1. The team however has managed just six total runs in the last two games.</p><p>The Blue Jays are refusing to give up, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/world-series-dodgers-blue-jays-freeman-ohtani-ec8b7b457a436ab899c322255bd4ef03" rel="noopener">despite the recent struggles</a>.</p><p>“The Dodgers didn’t win a World Series today,” Blue Jays manager John Schneider said after Game 3, per the Associated Press. “They won a game.”</p><p>The Blue Jays would love to have instant offense in Game 4. Toronto had to use nine pitchers on Monday, but still couldn’t stop the Dodgers. Shohei Ohtani hit two home runs, and Freddie Freeman hit the walk-off homer to win the game.</p><p>“We tried. We did everything we could. They did the same thing,” Guerrero said. “But in the end, they came away with the victory.”</p><p>Blue Jays fans hope something changes for the better for their team on Tuesday.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

I tried to fill up the zone there on the full count … He did a good job laying off two cutters away. I had to go back at him with the sinker, and he put a great swing on it.”</p><p>In the 18th inning, Little came in to provide relief after Eric Lauer threw 4.2 innings and gave up four walks, two hits, and had two strikeouts. Altogether, Little gave up two hits, one earned run, a walk, and had a strikeout.</p><p>In all, the marathon 18-inning game <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/mlb-stories/mlb-news-blue-jays-dodgers-set-world-series-history-in-game-3-marathon">became a seminal moment</a> in recent baseball history. The Dodgers are vying to win their second consecutive World Series title, and the Blue Jays are trying to reach the top of the mountain for the first time since 1993.</p><h2><b>Other moments where one pitch defined a World Series</b></h2><p>Throughout the history of the World Series, one pitch decided the outcome. Granted, this series is far from over, but just for fun, here are some of those previous moments.</p><p>In 1932, Babe Ruth’s hotly debated “called shot” home run came in Game 3 against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field off Charlie Root. Twenty-eight years later, Yankees’ pitcher Ralph Terry faced Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman Bill Mazeroski in Game 7 of the 1960 World Series.</p><p>Mazeroski hit a walk-off homer in the bottom of the 9th. In 1988, Kirk Gibson hit his walk-off homer while hobbled against Dennis Eckersley in Game 1 between the Dodgers and the Oakland A’s.</p><p>Obviously, for Toronto, it was Joe Carter’s walk-off homer of Mitch Williams in Game 6 of the 1993 World Series that lifted the Blue Jays over the Philadelphia Phillies.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

For example, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/los-angeles-dodgers/dodgers-news-shohei-ohtani-historic-mlb-club-blue-jays-tactic">Shohei Ohtani got on base a postseason record nine times</a>, which included two home runs and four times being intentionally walked. However, what stood out the most about the Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Toronto Blue Jays game was that it <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/mlb-stories/mlb-news-blue-jays-dodgers-set-world-series-history-in-game-3-marathon">didn’t conclude until the 18th inning.</a> Freddie Freeman hit a walk-off home run to win the game and give Los Angeles a 2-1 series lead. The late-night battle that ended after six hours and 39 minutes ended up tying the World Series record for innings played, but what other Fall Classics went deep into extra innings?</p><h2><b>T3. 1916 World Series, Game 2 – Boston Red Sox beat Brooklyn Robins 2-1 (14 innings)</b></h2><p>MLB looked a lot different in 1916. Before the Curse of the Bambino, which started after the Boston Red Sox’s 1918 championship, the Red Sox were an unstoppable force. They won the World Series in four of their first 11 seasons under the Red Sox moniker. That included in 1916 when they bested the Brooklyn Robins.</p><p>Of course, the Red Sox’s 86-year championship drought curse was named so because the Red Sox sold Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees in 1920. In the Fall Classic against the Robbins, though, Ruth was dominating for the Red Sox. That was on display in the low-scoring, 14-inning thriller in Game 2.</p><p>Ruth, who would go on to become the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/mlb-stories/updating-and-ranking-the-50-greatest-mlb-players-of-all-time">best MLB player ever</a>, wasn’t yet the dominant hitting force fans would come to know. He was a beast on the mound, though. Ruth led baseball in ERA this season (1.75) before going on to pitch 13 shutout innings in Game 2 of the World Series. The only run he gave up was a first-inning inside-the-park home run to Hy Myers.</p><p>Ruth himself had an RBI in the third inning, and there wouldn’t be another score until Del Gainer’s 14th inning walk-off single. It would be nearly a century until another World Series game lasted this long. Boston won the series in five games, and Ruth’s two-way prowess foreshadowed Ohtani’s brilliance as both a pitcher and batter well over a century later.</p><h2><b>T3. 2005 World Series, Game 3 – Chicago White Sox beat Houston Astros 7-5 (14 innings)</b></h2><p>The Chicago White Sox ended an 88-year championship drought to win their third World Series title in 2005. They swept the Houston Astros, but the series was far from easy. In fact, it included a 14-inning battle in Game 3 in which the White Sox won 7-5. Despite Frank Thomas’ injury, the White Sox were red hot at the end. Dating back to the end of the regular season, the team won 16 of their last 17 games, including an 11-1 postseason record.</p><p>Chicago was down 4-0 heading into the top of the fifth, but the White Sox swore by a “win or die trying” mantra. They’d rally off five runs in the fifth inning.</p><p>Come the 14th inning, the White Sox were up two runs. Mark Buehrle held off the Astros and earned a save just a game after earning a win. That hadn’t been done since 1958. The team’s used 17 combined pitchers to throw a total of 482 pitches. Forty-three players were used in total, and 30 base runners were left stranded at some point. Double plays were a big reason why the game went on so long, as there were six total in this game.</p><h2><b>T3. 2015 World Series, Game 1 – Kansas City Royals beat New York Mets 5-4 (14 innings)</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Eric-Hosmer-Mets-Royals.jpg"><figcaption>Jeff Curry-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The 2015 World Series started off with a banger. Game 1 between the New York Mets and Kansas City Royals went 14 innings deep. Matt Harvey started on the bump for the Mets. His first pitch resulted in the first World Series inside-the-park home run since 1929. Alcides Escobar was responsible for the feat. The Royals thrived on the base paths, and this was just one example. The Royals would <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/royals/2015/11/02/eric-hosmer-kansas-city-royals-world-series-new-york-mets-david-wright-lucas-duda-salvador-perez/75028018/" rel="noopener">later go on to exploit</a> Lucas Duda’s weak arm by breaking off a run for home and forcing a wild throw by the Mets’ first baseman.</p><p>In Game 1, though, it took more than Escobar’s inside-the-parker to get the job done. Alex Gordon hit a ninth-inning home run to tie the game, and the match was then sent to extra innings. New York’s Curtis Granderson played fantastically. In addition to hitting an earlier home run, he had a game-saving diving catch in the 11th inning.</p><p>However, Eric Hosmer hit a sacrifice fly to Granderson that drove in Escobar in the 14th inning, making Escobar both the first and the last run of the game. That had never before been done in the World Series before, and it led to Kansas City gaining enough momentum to win the series in five games.</p><h2><b>T1. 2018 World Series, Game 3 – Los Angeles Dodgers beat Boston Red Sox 3-2 (18 innings)</b></h2><p>Before their recent 18-inning performance, the Dodgers set the original record for the longest World Series game ever in 2018. The Dodgers lost their series against the Red Sox in five games, but they did everything in their power to ensure they weren’t swept. Game 3 ended with a Dodgers’ 3-2 win.</p><p>The game is most remembered for Max Muncy hitting a would-be walk-off home run in the 15th inning, but the ball narrowly hooked foul. Muncy would go on to actually hit the walk-off homer three innings later. The game is also remembered for Cody Bellinger being caught between bases to end the ninth inning, although Bellinger redeemed himself with a throw from center field the next inning to get Ian Kinsler out at the plate.</p><p>All in all, the game lasted seven hours and 20 minutes, making it the longest World Series ever, both in terms of time of play and innings played.</p><h2><b>T1. 2025 World Series, Game 3 – Los Angeles Dodgers beat Toronto Blue Jays 6-5 (18 innings)</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Freddie-Freeman-walk-off.jpg"><figcaption>Jayne Kamin-Oncea-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Like the previous longest World Series ever, this 18-inning masterclass ended in a Dodgers’ walk-off home run. It was, of course, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/los-angeles-dodgers/dodgers-news-freddie-freeman-said-world-series-walk-off-hr">Freeman who did the honors this time</a>, although Muncy is still on the roster. Freeman had hit a grand slam walk-off the year prior in the World Series as well.</p><p>However, any conversation about the 2025 World Series has to start and end with Shohei Ohtani. The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/mlb-stories/ranking-50-best-mlb-players-2025-season">best player in MLB</a> had one of the best baseball games ever in Game 3. Ohtani got on base nine times, which is not only a World Series record, but something that had only been done three previous times in any MLB game. Ohtani had two doubles and two home runs before the Blue Jays realized intentionally walking him to prevent further damage was their best bet. The designated hitter/pitcher got on base on balls five times, four of which were via intentional walks.</p><p>Ohtani joined Frank Isbell, who accomplished the feat in 1906, as one of two players with four extra-base hits in a postseason game. Ohtani did it while not even having a chance to put the ball in play for over half of his at-bats. After the 6-5 win, the Dodgers lead the Blue Jays 2-1 in the series.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

As MLB pointed out via X, <a href="https://x.com/MLB/status/1983177214272385525" rel="noopener">each of the three times before</a>, the game has gone into extra innings.

Current Blue Jay George Springer was the hero for Houston that night, hitting a two-run home run in the top of the 11th to win the game. The Astros went on to win their first World Series, 4-3.</p><p>Paisley also performed before another 18-inning World Series marathon in 2018, when the Dodgers beat the Boston Red Sox, 2-1. Max Muncy, who is still with the Dodgers, hit a walk-off home run off Nathan Eovaldi in the only game that Los Angeles won that series.</p><p>The third time came just last year when Paisley opened Game 1 of the World Series before Freeman hit a walk-off homer in the 10th inning to beat the New York Yankees. So, to take it a step further, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/los-angeles-dodgers/dodgers-news-post-epic-video-freddie-freeman-world-series-walk-offs">Freeman has hit a walk-off home run</a> after half of Paisley’s Dodger Stadium World Series national anthem performances.</p><p>But it was the fourth game that provided <a href="https://www.mlb.com/dodgers/news/dodgers-win-world-series-game-3-2025?t=world-series-coverage" rel="noopener">more dramatics</a> than any of the first three. After a back-and-forth game that had everything from puzzling blunders to big home runs and the next day’s starting pitcher reaching base nine times, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts called it “one of the greatest World Series games of all time,” per MLB.com.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

It came after pitching to the Japanese superstar in his first four at-bats, with the slugger recording two home runs and two doubles. Schneider explained <a href="https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/46754628/with-ohtani-onslaught-blue-jays-abandon-walk-strategy" rel="noopener">his reasoning</a> to reporters after the game.</p><p>“It’s not the easiest thing in the world to just walk him and face Mookie [Betts] and Freddie [Freeman],” Schneider said after the 6-5 loss. “You got to really execute at a high level against him. I think the first couple games we did. I think that we executed pretty well, minus today. He’s a great player and took some really good swings today.”</p><p>Ohtani has become so dominant that the Blue Jays might try to avoid him for the rest of the series if the situation allows it. With lefty Eric Lauer pitching 4+ innings on Monday night, it’s unlikely that they’ll have a high-leverage left-handed pitcher available that they trust to face Ohtani after he saw Mason Fluharty well in his at-bat against him. Toronto has also lost trust in Brendon Little and would like to avoid that matchup at all costs.</p><p>Schneider and pitching coach Pete Walker seem content to let the rest of the stars in the Dodgers’ lineup beat the Blue Jays. The reporters asked the manager point-blank whether he would implement the walk strategy going forward, and he didn’t shy away from it.</p><p>“Yeah,” he responded.</p><p>Ohtani’s bat isn’t the only worry for the Blue Jays in Game 4. The two-way phenom will take the mound for the Dodgers on Tuesday night, and he has been just as dominant in that role this postseason. In his last start against the Milwaukee Brewers, Ohtani recorded 10 strikeouts over six innings while also hitting three home runs at the plate. If John Schneider’s team wants to get back in the World Series, they’ll have to go directly through Shohei Ohtani.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

After 18 innings, Los Angeles came out winning by a 6-5 score.

He spoke to reporters after about what was going on in his head in that moment. The Blue Jays lost after Dodgers slugger Freddie Freeman hit a walk-off home run.</p><p>“You never want to be on the wrong side of these type of games,” Schneider said. “18 innings, it kinda wears on you, makes you feel even worse. We fought hard. They fought hard. They came out on top.”</p><p>The Dodgers used 10 pitchers against Toronto in the game, but Toronto just came up short. It was a wasted start for Blue Jays ace Max Scherzer, who lasted four-plus innings.</p><p>“This one will sting tonight,” Scherzer said. “Don’t get me wrong. You wouldn’t be human if it didn’t. But the way our team operates, the way we function, we’ll have a pretty good effort tomorrow.”</p><p>Los Angeles and Toronto play again in Game 4 on Tuesday.

It looks like the game took a bigger toll on Toronto, as they lost on a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/los-angeles-dodgers/dodgers-news-exhausted-fans-celebrate-world-series-hero-freddie-freeman-for-walkoff-hr">Freddie Freeman walk-off home run</a>, and also <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/toronto-blue-jays/blue-jays-george-springer-world-series-game-3-injury-scare">lost George Springer to an injury</a>. Add in that the Blue Jays might <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6756409/2025/10/28/world-series-game-4-dodgers-blue-jays/" rel="noopener">not be able to start</a> Bo Bichette, as he is still recovering from an ailing knee injury, and Game 4 could be a difficult night.</p><p>“Second baseman Bo Bichette, who drove in Vladimir Guerrero Jr. from first base with the go-ahead run in the seventh, also figures to be questionable. Schneider pinch-ran for Bichette after his single, mindful that his player is essentially in spring-training mode, building back up after missing nearly seven weeks with a sprained right knee,” Ken Rosenthal wrote, via The Athletic. “It might be too much to ask Bichette to start back-to-back days.”</p><p>The Blue Jays already adopted that strategy in between Games 1 and 2. Bichette was the starting second baseman and batted clean-up for Game 1, but manager John Schneider used him as a pinch-hitter in Game 2. Even though the coaching staff removed Bichette in the 7th inning and he didn’t have to play the game’s last 11 innings, he might still not be able to play on back-to-back nights.</p><p>Bichette’s removal from the game is already a hot topic, as Schneider’s quest to get faster runners on base earlier in the game left him without some of his best hitters for over half the game. Bichette, Alejandro Kirk, and Addison Barger all had to sit and watch Toronto’s offense sputter in extra innings, along with Springer, who left with the injury. Bichette’s possible inability to play on Tuesday night would be a massive blow to the team’s offense against Shohei Ohtani.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

But it sucks. He’s obviously a huge part of our lineup. Glad I got him out when I did, and hopefully it didn’t make anything worse. But we’ll see how he is tomorrow.”</p><p>At any rate, it remains to be seen what happens with Springer’s injuries and his availability, but the Blue Jays can’t afford any more setbacks as the team is down 2-1 in the series with Game 4 on Tuesday night in Los Angeles.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He threw probably three times as much as he’s ever thrown before and — certainly with the adrenaline on this stage — what he did was incredible.”</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

My swings were getting better and better as the game was going on. I’m just glad I was able to get the opportunity again.”</p><p>Freeman had enjoyed <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6756409/2025/10/28/world-series-game-4-dodgers-blue-jays/" rel="noopener">a few solid at-bats</a> throughout the contest, but had not yet been able to deliver the kind of swing that could change the course of a game.</p><p>“He hit it, and I said, ‘He got it this time,’” Kike Hernandez told Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. “But the ball barely got out. The last two at-bats before that one, he hit the ball 104 twice and the ball wasn’t even close to the wall. It makes you think, is this one going to go out?</p><p>“Thank God it did.”</p><p>The Dodgers have become accustomed to such situations, and Freeman has seemingly been in the middle of the most intense moments.</p><p>In Game 1 of last year’s World Series against the New York Yankees, Freeman cranked a <a href="https://dodgers.mlblogs.com/2025-world-series-freddie-freeman-is-the-fall-classic-dream-weaver-dfd0cdfa5d56" rel="noopener">game-winning grand slam</a> off of Nestor Cortes in the bottom of the 10th inning.</p><p>“That’s (the dream) you’re talking about as kids. And last year, it was always bases loaded, and two outs, bottom of the 9th. I know it happened in the 10th (last year in Game 1 of the World Series),” Freeman told Cary Osborne of Dodger Insider. “But to have it happen again a year later, to hit another walk-off, it’s kind of amazing, crazy, and I’m just glad we won and we’re up 2–1, and we got our Shohei on the mound tomorrow.”</p><p>The Dodgers and Blue Jays used 44 combined players in the six-hour and 39-minute thriller. They will now pivot towards Tuesday night’s Game 4 in Los Angeles.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

But both teams would much rather be happy while exhausted instead of playing the blame game, and for the Dodgers, they’ll at least be sleeping soundly after <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/los-angeles-dodgers/dodgers-news-exhausted-fans-celebrate-world-series-hero-freddie-freeman-for-walkoff-hr">Freddie Freeman hit another walk-off home run</a> in the World Series — a solo shot off of Brendon Little on a hanging sinker on a full count in the bottom of the 18th.</p><p>But before Freeman hit paydirt and finally sent the fans at Dodger Stadium eagerly anticipating a walk-off win home happy, there were plenty of frustrating moments for both teams. They were threatening to score during the extra innings, but couldn’t seem to find a way to get them safely across the plate.</p><p>In fact, the two teams combined to leave 37 runners stranded on base, which is <a href="https://x.com/SNstats/status/1983065460875964504" rel="noopener">a new</a> World Series record for most runners left on base, as pointed out by Sportsnet on X (formerly Twitter).</p><p>As early as the 10th inning, the Blue Jays were already threatening to score a go-ahead run. But instead, Davis Schneider got himself thrown out at the plate in a questionable send from third-base coach Carlos Febles.</p><p>In the bottom of the 11th, Freeman already had a golden opportunity to win the game for the Dodgers, with Shohei Ohtani and Mookie Betts on base. Freeman proceeded to fly out to left field. In the 13th, Freeman came on with the bases loaded, and he sent a deep fly ball to the warning track, only to be caught by Daulton Varsho.</p><p>The Blue Jays were knocking on the door in the 18th, with Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Varsho advancing to third and second base, respectively, after a wild pitch from Will Klein. Klein stranded those runners by striking out Tyler Heineman.</p><p>If anything, both bullpens deserve plenty of credit for keeping the score tied for that long.</p><h2><b>Dodgers win bullpen war of attrition against the Blue Jays</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Blue-Jays-Dodgers-set-World-Series-history-in-Game-3-marathon.jpg"><figcaption>© Jayne Kamin-Oncea-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>If given the choice, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/toronto-blue-jays/blue-jays-most-to-blame-for-18th-inning-world-series-game-3-loss">Blue Jays manager John Schneider certainly would not have gone</a> with Brendon Little to end the game.
