Asking Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Tyler Glasnow to follow up Yoshinobu Yamamoto in Game 3 of the World Series would be folly. You can’t expect every pitcher on the Dodgers to turn in a dominant, complete-game performance on the sport’s biggest stage. But Glasnow is looking to carry Yamamoto’s momentum into Monday’s contest. Glasnow, who has a 0.68 ERA this postseason, is trying to give the Dodgers the lead in the 2025 World Series with a win against the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 3.
Toronto sends veteran Max Scherzer to the mound to oppose Glasnow. Scherzer knows a thing or two about pitching in big games. The veteran has 31 playoff appearances over his Hall of Fame career and has won two World Series championships, leading the Washington Nationals and Texas Rangers to titles.

Scherzer, 41, is coming off his worst season in the majors, but he found a way to turn back time in his one playoff start so far, allowing just two runs over 5 2/3 innings during Toronto’s win over the Seattle Mariners in Game 4 of the ALCS. If Scherzer can repeat that performance Monday, he would give the Blue Jays a shot at a 2-1 lead in the series.

And there’s Roki Sasaki. The Dodgers flame-thrower enters to face the top of the Blue Jays order after two batters reach base against Jack Dreyer.
One out, with Ty France coming up.

Meanwhile, Roki Sasaki is warming up. That’s likely what’s waiting for the righty-heavy top of the Blue Jays order.

Mookie Betts grounds a ball to first on a tough play up the middle and Freddie Freeman can’t scoop it. An E6 puts the leadoff runner on base for the Blue Jays.

Shohei Ohtani’s last eight plate appearances at Dodger Stadium:
Homer
Walk
Homer
Homer
Double
Homer

Homer
That’s 24 total bases, four more than if he had hit back-to-back cycles. And he pitched six scoreless innings with 10 outs.

Muncy grounds out to end the inning. Still, this game is tied going into the eighth of a game that is quickly becoming a classic.

Seranthony Dominguez would like that one back.

And now back-to-back walks for Freddie Freeman and Will Smith with two outs. Here comes Max Muncy with the lead run in scoring position.

Shohei freaking Ohtani. He ties the game with a solo homer, his second of the game, third of the World Series and eighth of the postseason. He has five homers in his last two games at Dodger Stadium.

Andy Pages flies out against Seranthony Dominguez to lead off the bottom of the seventh. 4-for-46 this postseason, and most of those at-bats are right before Shohei Ohtani.

Alejandro Kirk grounds out to end the inning. The Dodgers have nine outs to get on the board again.

Blake Treinen has done it again. Bo Bichette hits a ball down the first-base line and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hustles from first base to just beat the throw home from Teoscar Hernández, who took a while getting to the ball after a bad bounce. Dave Roberts is still probably going to go with him in another big spot this series.
Like in Game 1, Bichette leaves the game and is replaced by Isiah Kiner-Falefa.

Vlad Jr. hits it up the middle against Treinen for a single. Up comes Bo Bichette against a pitcher who has been shaky again and again since the start of September.
