The Jays slugger hit it 395 feet to left-center field, also scoring <a class=\"zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE \" data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\" href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/mlb\/player\/_\/id\/35682\/nathan-lukes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Nathan Lukes<\/a>, who had singled ahead of him. &#8212; Jesse Rogers<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">Game 4 hero: <a class=\"zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE \" data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\" href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/mlb\/player\/_\/id\/40912\/shane-bieber\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Shane Bieber<\/a>. On a night when both starters had to give their respective teams some length, Bieber outpitched Ohtani, navigating around four hits and three walks over 5 innings and doing what no one has been able to do at Dodger Stadium lately &#8212; get Ohtani out at the plate. Bieber struck out the Dodgers&#8217; two-way star twice. &#8212; Rogers<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">The stat that defined the game: With his seventh postseason home run, Guerrero broke a tie with Joe Carter and Jos\u00e9 Bautista for the most career long balls in Blue Jays playoff history. Guerrero&#8217;s 14 postseason RBIs are also a franchise record, while his 10 extra-base hits are tied for the most in Blue Jays playoff history. &#8212; ESPN Research<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">What&#8217;s next for the Dodgers: In hopes of retaking control of this series and avoiding having to win back-to-back games in Toronto to seal a championship, the Dodgers will turn to <a class=\"zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE \" data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\" href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/mlb\/player\/_\/id\/33748\/blake-snell\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Blake Snell<\/a> in Game 5 and hope for a turnaround. The last time Snell took the mound, in Game 1 of the World Series, he lacked command of his fastball, struggled to generate whiffs with his changeup and labored like he hadn&#8217;t in quite a while, getting chased from a sixth inning that saw the Blue Jays score a whopping nine runs. In three playoff starts before that, Snell allowed just two runs in 21 innings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">This will mark the first time he faces the same opponent twice in a series, but Snell faced the <a class=\"zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE \" data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\" href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/mlb\/team\/_\/name\/sd\/san-diego-padres\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">San Diego Padres<\/a> in back-to-back starts during the regular season and faced the <a class=\"zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE \" data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\" href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/mlb\/team\/_\/name\/phi\/philadelphia-phillies\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Philadelphia Phillies<\/a> really close together in September and October. It wasn&#8217;t a problem then. The Dodgers will hope it isn&#8217;t a problem now. &#8212; Alden Gonzalez<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">What&#8217;s next for the Blue Jays: A Game 5 win on Wednesday might feel like gravy for the Blue Jays, as they&#8217;re handing the ball to rookie <a class=\"zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE \" data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\" href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/mlb\/player\/_\/id\/4949041\/trey-yesavage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Trey Yesavage<\/a> for his first road start of the postseason. They&#8217;ve already secured another game in Toronto, where they won Games 6 and 7 in the ALCS &#8212; along with Game 1 of this series. If Toronto can capture a second victory in Los Angeles &#8212; with several relievers likely available again to follow Yesavage &#8212; it can turn the favored Dodgers into underdogs. &#8212; Rogers<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA hsDdd DbOXS oklLN GpWVU iJYzE \" data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"hsDdd NDJZt sJeUN IJwXl vBqtr KrDt itslR WAUrb hakZw HlUVI \" data-testid=\"prism-image\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/espn.go.com\/i\/mlb\/infographics\/greyline.png\"\/><\/a>Relive all the action<\/p>\n<p>Copyright \u00a9 2025 ESPN Internet Ventures.
