In a tense moment during Game 7 of the World Series, emotions ran high as Dodgers pitcher Justin Wrobleski accidentally hit Blue Jays shortstop Andrés Giménez with a pitch, leading to a heated exchange on the field. The incident occurred in the fourth inning on Saturday night, sparking a brief but intense confrontation.
Prior to the pitch that hit Giménez, Wrobleski had thrown a couple of high-and-inside fastballs, escalating the tension between the two teams. When the fastball struck Giménez’s hand, both benches and bullpens quickly emptied as players rushed onto the field.
Giménez reacted visibly to the hit, prompting the umpire to intervene and prevent further escalation. After a brief pause and a warning issued to both teams, play resumed with Wrobleski facing George Springer, who managed to hit a line drive off the pitcher’s leg.
Despite the injury, Wrobleski continued pitching before eventually being replaced by Tyler Glasnow. The Dodgers were trailing 3-1 at the time, adding to the intensity of the game. The inning concluded with a solid play by Vladimir Guerrero Jr., bringing a dramatic end to the heated exchange.
