Overview
- Shohei Ohtani reached base nine times (4-for-4 with two homers, two doubles and five walks), becoming the first player to reach base nine times in a postseason game and tying a World Series mark with four extra-base hits.
- Reliever Will Klein delivered four shutout innings on 72 pitches to earn the win after the bullpens were pushed to the limit.
- The game lasted 6 hours, 39 minutes and matched the World Series record at 18 innings, featuring 19 pitchers, more than 600 pitches, 130 at-bats and 37 runners left on base.
- Game 4 at Dodger Stadium features Ohtani on short rest for Los Angeles against Toronto’s Shane Bieber.
- Blue Jays manager John Schneider indicated the team will continue pitching around Ohtani, as Toronto manages bullpen fatigue plus injuries to George Springer (left-side MRI) and a not fully healthy Bo Bichette.
