Dodgers Even World Series with 5-1 Victory Over Blue Jays
Yoshinobu Yamamoto's complete game and seventh-inning homers from Will Smith and Max Muncy lead the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 5-1 win over the Toronto Blue Jays, tying the World Series at one game each.
The Los Angeles Dodgers secured a 5-1 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 2 of the World Series on Saturday, leveling the series at one game apiece. Pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto delivered a complete game, allowing just four hits and one run while striking out eight batters without issuing any walks. This performance marked his second consecutive complete game in the postseason, a feat last achieved by Curt Schilling in 2001.
The Dodgers' offense was ignited in the seventh inning when Will Smith and Max Muncy hit back-to-back solo home runs, breaking a 1-1 tie. Smith's homer ended a stretch where Toronto's Kevin Gausman had retired 17 consecutive batters. Gausman finished the game with six strikeouts and no walks over 6⅔ innings.
The series now shifts to Dodger Stadium for the next three games, beginning Monday.
