The Dodgers' bullpen came through when it mattered most, silencing a frenzied crowd at Rogers Centre as they clinched Game 6 and forced a deciding Game 7 in the World Series.
Los Angeles's arms were a dominant force all night, limiting Toronto to just one run despite being asked to pitch on two days' rest. Roki Sasaki was roughed up in his first outing of the postseason, but he managed to escape unscathed when the Jays threatened in the bottom of the 8th.
The Dodgers offense, meanwhile, did just enough to secure a narrow 3-1 win. The usually potent hitters were surprisingly quiet on this night, with only one productive inning providing all the offense they'd need.
For Toronto, the season's improbable run came to an abrupt end as the Blue Jays fell victim to their own bullpen struggles. With just six outs remaining and no hits in five innings of postseason history, it was clear that fate had dealt Toronto a tough hand.
Game 7 is now set for tomorrow night at Rogers Centre, with ace Shohei Ohtani facing off against Max Scherzer on the mound. Can the Blue Jays overcome their bullpen woes to make one last push? The world will be watching as this pivotal matchup unfolds in front of a stunned but eager crowd.
