"Sputtering after making 17 consecutive outs, threatening to ruin more brilliance by Yoshinobu Yamamoto, the Dodgers suddenly erupted with two blasts in about two minutes Saturday, seventh inning home runs by Smith and Muncy rescuing their game and quite possibly their season in fueling a 5-1 victory over the host Toronto Blue Jays to tie the Series at one game apiece."
"While the two game-changing fastballs left the yard, Yamamoto never did, becoming the first Dodger to earn a second consecutive complete game victory since Orel Hershiser bulldogged it for the Dodgers 37 years ago. That's right, 105 more pitches of mastery, Yamamoto worked all nine innings, allowing the one run, four hits, nine strikeouts, no walks, retiring the final 20 hitters, simply amazing, again."
The Dodgers evened the World Series at 1-1 with a 5-1 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays. Will Smith and Max Muncy hit consecutive seventh-inning home runs that produced the decisive offense. Yoshinobu Yamamoto completed all nine innings, allowing one run on four hits with nine strikeouts and no walks while retiring the final 20 hitters. Yamamoto became the first Dodger since Orel Hershiser to record consecutive complete games in the playoffs. Series momentum shifted to Los Angeles as the next three games move to Dodger Stadium with Tyler Glasnow, Shohei Ohtani and Blake Snell lined up to start.
