Freeman’s 18th-inning homer secures Dodgers’ 2-1 lead over Blue Jays
Monday night saw a World Series classic for the history books. The Los Angeles Dodgers outlasted the Toronto Blue Jays in a marathon 18-inning thriller, winning 6-5 and taking a 2-1 series lead.
Shohei Ohtani delivered an impressive performance with two home runs and two doubles, setting a record for extra-base hits in a World Series game.
But it was Freddie Freeman who sealed the win. He smashed a solo homer in the 18th inning to end a game that lasted six hours and 39 minutes.
In total, 609 pitches, 19 pitchers, 25 position players and 27 runners left on base.
The Dodgers are now two wins away from winning back-to-back World Series titles, and perhaps their third title since 2020.
However, the Blue Jays still have hope if they can get three more wins under their belt.
