"Bo Bichette broke out into his heavy-hitting offensive self Bichette found himself on the IL for most of September and all through the postseason until the World Series came around. This is where Bichette rejoined the team, bringing excitement to Jays fans, as well as questions. Why fix the wheel if not broken? What if Bichette is more disruptive than productive? Could such a long layoff hinder his ability on the field?"
"Bichette launched a 442-foot home run to centre field, putting the Blue Jays up three runs. In the bottom of the sixth, Gimenez doubled to score Ernie Clement, putting Toronto up 4-2. After Bichette opened the doors for the Jays' offence, that was the end of it. Toronto ended up depending on this lead, and stranded 14 runners, going only three for 17 with runners in scoring position."
"When you think about a Dodgers rally, you think about a slug-fest, and that was exactly it. A two-swing "rally" in the eighth and ninth innings is what they needed to put themselves back in the Championship chat. In the eighth inning, Max Muncy faced Trey Yesavage, who missed his third pitch location, placing an 83 mph splitter middle-in. This ball was sent 373 feet over the right-field wall, making it 4-3."
Bo Bichette returned from the injured list and hit a 442-foot home run in the bottom of the third, putting Toronto up three runs. Gimenez added an RBI double in the sixth to extend the lead to 4-2. The Blue Jays stranded 14 runners and went three-for-17 with runners in scoring position, leaving the early lead vulnerable. The Dodgers executed a late two-swing rally, with Max Muncy homering off a misplaced 83 mph splitter in the eighth to make it 4-3. The rally continued into the ninth as a seven-pitch at-bat culminated in another big blow that completed the comeback.
