Blue Jays 6, Dodgers 2 — Vlad’s blast and big 7th inning even the Series
The Blue Jays shook off their 18-inning heartbreak from Game 3 and punched right back behind Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and a relentless offense that finally cracked Shohei Ohtani. Toronto’s 6–2 win in Game 4 at Dodger Stadium tied the World Series at two games apiece and guaranteed the Series returns to Canada.
🔑 Key Moments
Kiké Hernández put the Dodgers up 1–0 in the 2nd with a sacrifice fly to score Max Muncy.
In the 3rd, Nathan Lukes singled off Ohtani before Vladimir Guerrero Jr. unloaded on a hanging sweeper, crushing a two-run homer to left-center to give Toronto a 2–1 lead.
Shane Bieber held that edge, tossing 5 1/3 innings of one-run ball before Mason Fluharty came in to retire two huge outs and escape a sixth-inning jam.
The Jays broke it open in the 7th: Daulton Varsho singled, Ernie Clement doubled off the wall, and Andrés Giménez drove in a run with a single to left. A Ty France groundout and RBI hits from Bo Bichette and Addison Barger capped a four-run frame to make it 6–1.
Chris Bassitt and Louis Varland locked down the late innings, and the Jays cruised to even the Fall Classic.
