Ohtani's Historic Performance Leads Dodgers to 18-Inning World Series Victory
Shohei Ohtani's record-breaking performance, including two home runs and four extra-base hits, propelled the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 6-5 win over the Toronto Blue Jays in an 18-inning Game 3 of the World Series.
In a marathon 18-inning Game 3 of the World Series, the Los Angeles Dodgers edged out the Toronto Blue Jays 6-5, taking a 2-1 lead in the series. The game, lasting 6 hours and 39 minutes, matched the longest in World Series history.
Shohei Ohtani delivered a historic performance, becoming the first player in 114 years to record four extra-base hits in a World Series game. He hit two home runs and two doubles, tying a record set by Frank Isbell in 1906. Ohtani also reached base nine times, a feat last achieved by Stan Hack in 1942. His two home runs brought his postseason total to eight, tying the Dodgers' franchise record set by Corey Seager in 2020.
The game concluded with Freddie Freeman's walk-off home run in the bottom of the 18th inning, marking his second career World Series walk-off homer. Freeman previously hit a game-ending grand slam in last year's Series opener.
Ohtani is set to start on the mound for the Dodgers in Game 4, aiming to build on his remarkable postseason contributions.
