The pitching lines<\/p>\n
Both pitchers were fantastic \u2013 Yamamoto was just a bit better than Gausman, who was nearly perfect outside of that Dodger third inning.<\/p>\n
Yamamoto<\/p>\n

Gausman<\/p>\n
6IP 3H 3R 3ER 2BB 8K 0HR<\/p>\n
Tremendous work by both pitchers in a huge spot.<\/p>\n
Share<\/a><\/p>\n Dodgers 3-1 Blue Jays, bottom 7th<\/p>\n Gimenez waves at a fastball \u2013 strike three! Inning over! Wrobleski throws a blank in the seventh! Five left on base by the Jays tonight.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Dodgers 3-1 Blue Jays, bottom 7th<\/p>\n Foul ball. It\u2019s still 2-2. Battle with so much on the line here in the 7th.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Dodgers 3-1 Blue Jays, bottom 7th<\/p>\n Gimenez lays off a breaking ball ow and away. 2-2.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Dodgers 3-1 Blue Jays, bottom 7th<\/p>\n Gimenez is jammed and fouls the next pitch off. Still 1-2.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Dodgers 3-1 Blue Jays, bottom 7th<\/p>\n The 0-2 fastball is high to Gimenez. It\u2019s 1-2.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Dodgers 3-1 Blue Jays, bottom 7th<\/p>\n Gimenez will not be pinch hit for. He takes a big cut for strike one then fouls off a pitch to go down 0-2 in the count. Meanwhile, Sasaki starts to warm for LA in the bullpen.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Dodgers 3-1 Blue Jays, bottom 7th<\/p>\n Yamamoto is out! Credit that last inning for tiring out Yamamoto. So now Toronto has a crack at the dubious Dodger bullpen to try and use those last nine outs to win a World Series<\/a>.<\/p>\n Justin Wrobleski has two quick outs! The first comes on a stellar bare handed grab by the second baseman Rojas. Then Barger strikes out!<\/p>\n Two down for Clement!<\/p>\n And he doubles! The tying run comes to the plate in the form of Gimenez and Mark Prior heads to the mound to speak to Wrobleski!<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Dodgers 3-1 Blue Jays, top 7th<\/p>\n Tommy Edman steps to the plate. FOX TV voices are already talking about the Ohtani DH\/pitcher situation for Game 7.<\/a> But we got a ways to go. Bit early for that boys!<\/p>\n Edman pops to center. Inning over!<\/p>\n It\u2019s stretch time in Toronto!<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Dodgers 3-1 Blue Jays, top 7th<\/p>\n Varland blows away Hernandez! Two outs!<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Dodgers 3-1 Blue Jays, top 7th<\/p>\n OK, so Gausman is out six solid. Louis Varland is in. He gets Muncy straight away \u2013 a pop out to right retires the third baseman.<\/p>\n Hernandez is next.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Dodgers 3-1 Blue Jays, bottom 6th<\/p>\n Varsho waves at a splitter \u2013 inning over! That ends the Blue Jay threat!<\/p>\n Yamamoto though six! But the Jays did escalate his pitch count.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Dodgers 3-1 Blue Jays, bottom 6th<\/p>\n Foul ball, the count is 1-2 against Varsho. Yamamoto is up to 95 pitches.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Dodgers 3-1 Blue Jays, bottom 6th<\/p>\n Yamamoto disengages and fakes a throw to second. Then he misses fo ball four! It\u2019s a Yamamoto walk! Those you don\u2019t see too often!<\/p>\n Two on, two out with Daulton Varsho at the plate! Everybody up in Toronto in this enormous, crucial moment.<\/p>\n It\u2019s a 1-1 count.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Dodgers 3-1 Blue Jays, bottom 6th<\/p>\n Fouled back. We do it again. Full count!<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Dodgers 3-1 Blue Jays, bottom 6th<\/p>\n Yamamoto misses way up again! The count is full!<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Dodgers 3-1 Blue Jays, bottom 6th<\/p>\n Bichette fouls off a pitch. It\u2019s 2-2.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Dodgers 3-1 Blue Jays, bottom 6th<\/p>\n 2-1 to Bichette after Yamamoto misses badly high.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Dodgers 3-1 Blue Jays, bottom 6th<\/p>\n Guerrero has a hit with one hand into the left field corner. It\u2019s a two out double! Here comes Bichette, who is hella dangerous! Dodgers pitching coach Mark Pior checks in with Yamamoto.<\/p>\n Huge moment here with two outs for Toronto!<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Dodgers 3-1 Blue Jays, bottom 6th<\/p>\n No streaker luck for Lukes. He skies to center for the second out. It\u2019s up to Vladdy in the Jays sixth.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Dodgers 3-1 Blue Jays, bottom 6th<\/p>\n We have a streaker, or some sort of field invader, but we don\u2019t get to see! Booooooo! Smart move by the crowd trying to throw off Yamamoto. Will it work? Lukes is ahead in the count 2-1.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Dodgers 3-1 Blue Jays, bottom 6th<\/p>\n Yamamoto makes quick work of Springer, who grounds out to short. One down. Here\u2019s Lukes.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Dodgers 3-1 Blue Jays, top 6th<\/p>\n Hernandez grounds out to short. Gausman is through six with one costly frame in his ledger. He\u2019s thrown 93 pitches.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Dodgers 3-1 Blue Jays, top 6th<\/p>\n It\u2019s 1-2 to Hernandez. The crowd is up! Pitch. \u2013 low and away.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Dodgers 3-1 Blue Jays, top 6th<\/p>\n Betts grounds out to short for out no2. Now the ex-Jay Hernandez steps in with nobody on in what has been a quiet inning. So far.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Dodgers 3-1 Blue Jays, top 6th<\/p>\n Freeman pops out to shortstop. That\u2019s an easy out to start the sixth. Now Betts is back. Is he about to catch fire?<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Dodgers 3-1 Blue Jays, bottom 5th<\/p>\n Barger watches a fastball fly by. And Yamamoto is just impossible to figure out. Two down.<\/p>\n Clement has an idea \u2013 he knocks one into the hole at short. Betts can\u2019t handle it, and that\u2019s a two out hit.<\/p>\n But then Gimenez skies to center.<\/p>\n Inning over. Yamamoto has thrown 75 pitches through five. Too efficient for Toronto.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a021.44 EDT<\/p>\n Dodgers 3-1 Blue Jays, bottom 5th<\/p>\n Oh what a pitch by Yamamoto! His splitter inside totally crosses up Kirk and is just not fair. One down. Here\u2019s Barger, who has a bit of magic in his bat for sure. It\u2019s just, when is this magic available?<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Dodgers 3-1 Blue Jays, bottom 5th<\/p>\n Kirk fouls two balls off to the right side. It\u2019s 2-2.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Dodgers 3-1 Blue Jays, bottom 5th<\/p>\n John Schneider is being interviewed. He says George Springer is \u201ctough man\u201d. I guess he\u2019s right.<\/p>\n It\u2019s 1-2 to the dangerous Kirk.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Dodgers 3-1 Blue Jays, top 5th<\/p>\n It\u2019s a good cut from Smith and a line drive to left, but Lukes is right there to make the catch. Side retired.<\/p>\n Gausman: 82 pitches through five.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Dodgers 3-1 Blue Jays, top 5th<\/p>\n In the end, it\u2019s a harmless bouncer to first, easy for Guerrero, who makes the play and steps on first for the second out.<\/p>\n Now here is Smith\u2019s nemesis, Will Smith! I\u2019d be careful here!<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Dodgers 3-1 Blue Jays, top 5th<\/p>\n Another foul ball. Long at-bat! Scary for Blue Jays fans. Will Ohtani wear out Gausman?<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Dodgers 3-1 Blue Jays, top 5th<\/p>\n He hits a ball off his leg. Ouch! He limps around for a minute, which means a home run is coming up, probably.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Dodgers 3-1 Blue Jays, top 5th<\/p>\n Count full to Ohtani!<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Dodgers 3-1 Blue Jays, top 5th<\/p>\n Then Ohtani lifts a ball into foul territory. It\u2019s still 2-2.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Dodgers 3-1 Blue Jays, top 5th<\/p>\n Ohtani is down in the count, 1-2, then lays out a pitch low and away.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Dodgers 3-1 Blue Jays, top 5th<\/p>\n Bottom of the lineup now for LA, and Rojas beggns the Dodger fifth with a fly out to right. One down.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s Ohtani, who Gausman is pitching to.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Dodgers 3-1 Blue Jays, bottom 4th<\/p>\n Varsho waves at a splitter \u2013 it\u2019s 1-2.<\/p>\n Then a grounder two second. Rojas has it, tosses to Betts for one, who fires to first, double play! Inning over!<\/p>\n Yamamoto rebounds in the fourth. The Japanese hurler is through four on 58 pitches. Pretty efficient!<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Dodgers 3-1 Blue Jays, bottom 4th<\/p>\n Bichette has the Jays third base hit tonight with a knock to left. One on, one out for Varsho.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Dodgers 3-1 Blue Jays, bottom 4th<\/p>\n Yamamoto locates a split down and in. That pitch is not hittable. Strike three! Bichette is next.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a021.24 EDT<\/p>\n Dodgers 3-1 Blue Jays, bottom 4th<\/p>\n Vladdy is backat it to lead off the Jays fourth and takes a strike to begin the at-bat.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Email!<\/p>\n Graham Searles is on a train!<\/p>\n \u201cThanks for the coverage, never have I been more glad to be on a 3 hour train to Wolverhampton at 1am than watching this. The way the commentators were talking down Mookie Betts. I was expecting him to strike out but he nailed it, roll on game seven!\u201d<\/p>\n FOX interviewed Dave Roberts last inning and he was quite happy that Betts came through, that\u2019s for sure.<\/p>\n Good luck on that train! Say hi to Wolverhampton for me!<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Dodgers 3-1 Blue Jays, top 4th<\/p>\n It\u2019s 2-2 to Edman. FOX TV in the US says Gausman has gotten swings and misses on 75% of his pitches. Which is a lot.<\/p>\n Edman pops out to third. Inning over.<\/p>\n Gausman 67 pitches through four.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Dodgers 3-1 Blue Jays, top 4th<\/p>\n Mucbny bounces to short. One down. Gausman has thrown 612 pitches through 3 1\/3 innings pitched.<\/p>\n Now Hernandez pops up high to second. That\u2019s easy for Bichette. Two down.<\/p>\n Edman, who had a big double and scored an inning ago, is back in the box.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Email!<\/p>\n Kirkby is back!<\/p>\n \u201cWalking Ohtani has put Gausman off his game, if they keep walking him, it\u2019s curtains for the Jays. More at bats, more runs.\u201d<\/p>\n Interesting. The more I consider that, the more I think maybe you\u2019re on to something. Still, it\u2019s hard to argue against it with first base open. If he pitches to Ohtani there and he comes through, Schneider is facing a LOT of heat.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Dodgers 3-1 Blue Jays, bottom 3rd<\/p>\n Lukes skies out to left, inning over, but not before Toronto claws a run back!<\/p>\n To the fourth!<\/p>\n Share<\/a>RUN! Dodgers 3-1 Blue Jays, bottom 3rd<\/p>\n Springer cracks a line drive to center field and that\u2019s a base hit! Barger comes home and what can you say but WOW!<\/p>\n That\u2019s a run back in a shut down inning opportunity for LA.<\/p>\n Toronto\u2019s George Springer hits an RBI single during the third inning. Photograph: Mark Blinch\/Getty ImagesShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a021.29 EDT<\/p>\n Dodgers 3-0 Blue Jays, bottom 3rd<\/p>\n It\u2019s 3-0! Springer even grimaces on a check swing.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Dodgers 3-0 Blue Jays, bottom 3rd<\/p>\n Gimenez strikes a line shot to second that puts Rojas on his back! He recovers to throw out the runner at first. Two down, Barger moves to third, and here\u2019s Springer in a big spot.<\/p>\n Does he have enough in the tank to come through against the Dodgers ace?<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Dodgers 3-0 Blue Jays, bottom 3rd<\/p>\n Gimenez waves at a change up and it\u2019s 3-2.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Dodgers 3-0 Blue Jays, bottom 3rd<\/p>\n Considering Yamamoto pitched a complete game against Toronto his last time on the bump, the Jays really need to score here and get off the schnide vs the Japanese hurler.<\/p>\n All that said, Clement is down on three pitches. One out, and it\u2019s Gimenez to the plate in the nine hole. The light hitting shortstop has had his share of big hits this October.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Dodgers 3-0 Blue Jays, bottom 3rd<\/p>\n It\u2019s 7,8,9 for Toronto and Barger starts it off for the home team. He\u2019s quickly in the hole 1-2. Then he has a knock off the side wall in left field! The bounce means he can turn the corner and tun two! So now the Jays have a lead off runner in their half of the third!<\/p>\n Clement is next with a runner in scoring position.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Dodgers 3-0 Blue Jays, top 3rd<\/p>\n Teoscar Hernandez becomes Gausman\u2019s third strikeout victim and the inning is over. But not before significant damage. A three run deficit is a big hurdle the way Yamamoto is throwing right now.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>RUN! Dodgers 3-0 Blue Jays, top 3rd<\/p>\n Betts slaps a single through the hole on the left side of the infield! Ohtani scores! Here comes Smith! Mookie Betts comes through! A crooked number for LA quiets the crowd in Toronto!<\/p>\n Will Smith of the Dodgers slides into home plate for a run as Toronto catcher Alejandro Kirk fields the ball. Photograph: Mark Blinch\/Getty ImagesShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a021.31 EDT<\/p>\n Dodgers 1-0 Blue Jays, top 3rd<\/p>\n Big cut, big miss! It\u2019s 1-2 as the crowd gets loud.<\/p>\n
