The Los Angeles Dodgers took a 2-1 lead in the World Series, beating the Toronto Blue Jays 6-5 in an epic, 18 innings game lasting more than six-and-a-half hours on Monday night at Dodger Stadium.
With no runs scored between the seventh and 18th innings, the Dodgers Freddie Freeman hit a walk-off home run in the bottom of the 18th inning off left-hander Brendon Little, sending a 406-foot drive to center field to break the extra-innings tie and clinch the 6-5 victory. The go-ahead run marked Freeman’s second World Series walk-off homer in two years.
Will Klein, the last reliever left in the Dodgers’ bullpen, got the win; allowing one hit over four shutout innings and throwing 72 pitches.
Game 4 will take place on Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium.
