"Roki Sasaki came back into the game after a scoreless eighth inning, but quickly found himself in a hole. He plunked Alejandro Kirk and allowed a controversial ground rule double to give the Blue Jays men on second and third with no outs. Tyler Glasnow relieved Sasaki afterwards and got a huge out, forcing Ernie Clement to pop out to first baseman Freddie Freeman and keep the runners in place."
"Andres Gimenez stepped up to the plate next and shot a line drive to left field, but Kiké Hernandez charged the ball and corralled it into his glove. He then slung the ball towards Miguel Rojas, who fielded the ball on a difficult hop, and caught Barger off of second base to record an unorthodox, game-ending double play. The double play ended the game and leveled the series at three, forcing a dramatic Game 7."
The Dodgers took an early lead in Game 6 with a Will Smith double and a Mookie Betts single that scored Smith and Shohei Ohtani. The Blue Jays cut the deficit in the bottom of the third when George Springer singled to score Addison Barger. Yoshinobu Yamamoto delivered six strong innings, allowing one run and striking out six. In the ninth, Roki Sasaki hit Alejandro Kirk and surrendered a controversial ground-rule double, then Tyler Glasnow got a key out. Andres Gimenez lined to left, Kiké Hernandez made a charging catch and threw to Miguel Rojas, who completed an unorthodox, game-ending double play that tied the series and swung momentum to the Dodgers.
