Toronto Blue Jays slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr. blasted his first World Series home run against Shohei Ohtani in Game 4’s third inning, marking a historic moment for the team.
After a grueling 18-inning marathon in Game 3, the Blue Jays and Dodgers saw Freddie Freeman’s walk-off homer securing a series lead for L.A.
In Game 4, the Dodgers’ Max Muncy scored on a sacrifice fly by Enrique Hernández in the second inning to kick off the scoring.
Guerrero Jr. then electrified the crowd with a two-run bomb to deep left-center field in the following inning, propelling the Blue Jays to a 2-1 lead and setting a new record for the most postseason home runs in Blue Jays history with seven.
Shane Bieber, who previously shined in pivotal postseason games, took the mound for the Jays in Game 4, boasting a 1-0 record, 4.38 ERA, 15 strikeouts, and three walks in 12.1 innings.
Meanwhile, George Springer was sidelined for Game 4 due to right-side discomfort following Game 3.
The Dodgers currently hold a 2-1 series lead, with Game 5 set for Wednesday night in Los Angeles.
