Vladimir Guerrero Jr blasted a two-run home run as the Toronto Blue Jays bounced back to defeat the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-2 and tie the World Series at two games apiece on Tuesday.

Less than 24 hours after a shattering 18-inning game three loss, the Blue Jays climbed off the canvas to breathe new life into their hopes of a first Major League Baseball title in 32 years.

Guerrero's two-run blast off Dodgers starter Shohei Ohtani and a superb pitching performance from ace Shane Bieber laid the foundations for a gutsy victory that silenced Dodger Stadium.

"I'm always trying to compete for my city, compete for the team, and when you're competing, good things happen," said Guerrero after a victory that ensures the best-of-seven series will head back to Toronto for game six tomorrow.

Blue Jays manager John Schneider praised his team's ability to recover from Monday's heartbreak.
