Instant Reaction: Blue Jays drop a close game to force World Series Game 7 at the Rogers Centre
"Kevin Gausman pitched six innings of three-hit ball for the Blue Jays, adding two walks and allowing just three runs when he fell on tough times in the third inning - the lone frame the Dodgers put up any run support. He struck out eight in the start, including the top three hitters of Shohei Ohtani, Will Smith, and Freddie Freeman to start the game."
"Doubles from Tommy Edman and Will Smith contributed to the run support, with walks to Freddie Freeman and Shohei Ohtani also playing a part in the three-run inning. Gausman authored a 67.6% strike rate and generated 20 whiffs on the day, keeping the Dodgers' hitters off balance with his split-finger pitch. Outside of the lone inning, the right-hander kept the Jays in close against the Dodgers before he was lifted."
