Blue Jays Strike Back, Level World Series at 2-2
The Toronto Blue Jays have bounced back from their marathon loss to level the MLB World Series at two games apiece with a decisive 6-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 4 on Tuesday. Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s clutch two-run homer in the third inning proved to be the turning point, snapping the Dodgers' World Series-record streak of reaching base.
Shane Bieber pitched into the sixth inning for Toronto, giving up one run on four hits with three walks and three strikeouts. Meanwhile, Shohei Ohtani put up a strong effort but fell short, pitching six-plus innings and allowing four runs on six hits and one walk with six strikeouts.
The Blue Jays' offense came alive in the seventh inning, scoring four runs behind RBI singles from Andres Gimenez, Bo Bichette, and Addison Barger. The Dodgers managed to claw back with a run-scoring groundout in the ninth but ultimately fell short.
With this win, the series is now level at 2-2, setting up an electrifying Game 6 in Toronto on Friday. The Blue Jays' injury-plagued offense was missing leadoff man George Springer due to a right side injury sustained in Game 3, adding another layer of complexity to their victory.
Game 5 in the best-of-seven series is scheduled for Wednesday night at Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers will look to bounce back and regain momentum against the resurgent Blue Jays.

I'm loving how these games are turning out, but what's with all the walkies? Like seriously Shane Bieber had 3 walks and Shohei Ohtani had one... can't they just make those pitches already?! 
on a more serious note tho, it's crazy that the Blue Jays were missing George Springer and still managed to pull this off. That injury-plagued offense thing is super tough. Maybe they should've picked up a guy like Joc Pederson or someone? 
. I mean, I love the thrill of a close series as much as the next guy, but come on... and what's up with Shohei Ohtani being outperformed by Shane Bieber? The dude is supposed to be one of the best pitchers in the league, and he can't even get it done when it matters most 
, the blue jays were down but not out! vladimir guerrero jr's two-run homer was pure magic 
, and shane bieber pitched a solid game to give toronto some much-needed momentum 
. i have to say tho, shohei ohtani is giving me all the feels 
, he's carrying that dodgers team on his back like ryan murphy in friday night lights 
. but can't knock the blue jays' resurgent offense - they're proving everyone wrong and i am HERE. FOR. IT 
! game 6 is gonna be EPIC 
Meanwhile, Shohei Ohtani puts in a solid effort but comes up just short... gotta respect that dude for even trying 
, but you gotta feel bad for shohei ohtani, he gave it his all out there 
. and now the series is level at 2-2? gonna be wild game 6 in toronto on friday! 
️
. This series is gonna go down to the wire, I'm so here for it 
and seriously, dodgers' streak of reaching base is basically broken now 
it broke the Dodgers' streak and gave them a confidence boost. 
. Now they just need to keep that momentum going and take down the Dodgers in Game 6 
. The Dodgers think they can just bounce back after this one win? Please, I've seen it before in other series... teams always say that when they're down 2-1 or something, but then they get swept 
.
I mean, they were down after Game 3, but Shane Bieber stepped up big time, and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. smashed that homer in the third inning... talk about a game-changer! 
Meanwhile, the Dodgers had that one bad inning, but still, they gave it their all. I love how this series is shaping up to be a real rollercoaster! 
Now, can't wait for Game 6 on Friday... Toronto's gonna be PUMPED UP!
