Vladimir Guerrero Jr. refuses to let Shohei Ohtani and the Dodgers dominate the story of this World Series. The Jays’ slugger led his team to a 6-2 win over Ohtani and co. with a home run and a couple of RBIs to even the World Series at two games apiece.
The first baseman has hit safely in nine straight playoff games and is hitting .419 overall this postseason with seven home runs and 14 runs batted in (62 ABs).
Ohtani was human last night allowing four runs over six innings including Guerrero’s third inning home run. He also went without a hit striking out twice in four trips to the plate.
Game 5 becomes pivotal now for both sides. The pitching matchup is a rematch of Game 1 with Blake Snell taking the ball for the Dodgers and Trey Yesavage on the bump for Toronto.
Lets dive into the numbers from last night and the Series in general and see where we can find an advantage.
