In a historic showdown, the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 6-5 in Game 3 of the World Series after a thrilling battle that stretched to the 18th inning and lasted nearly 6 hours and 39 minutes.
The victory came for the Los Angeles team after an incredible and lengthy walk-off home run by Canadian Freddie Freeman in the 18th inning, which sealed the score and put the Dodgers ahead 2-1 in the series. The teams will face off again today, with Toronto looking to even the series, or risk falling further behind Los Angeles.
Japanese star Shohei Ohtani shone brightly with two home runs, setting a new personal record by reaching base nine times in a single postseason game, a performance that once again confirms his superstar status.
Has this victory changed the course of the series for the Dodgers?
We could say yes, at least based on what we saw last night. Winning Game 3 after overcoming a rough stretch opens the path for Los Angeles to move closer to the title and gives them vital momentum in what could be a turning point of the championship. However, maintaining this level will be crucial if they hope to turn that advantage into a championship win.
