Freddie Freeman home run gives LA Dodgers 2-1 lead vs Blue Jays

The 18-inning game matched the longest in World Series history

- 

Freddie Freeman hit a game-ending home run in the 18th inning, Shohei Ohtani hit two homers and the Los Angeles (LA) Dodgers pulled off a 6-5 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday in Game 3 of the World Series.

Teoscar Hernandez also hit a home run, while Ohtani added two doubles and reached base a postseason-record nine times with five walks (four intentional) as the Dodgers pulled in front 2-1 in the best-of-seven series after losing Game 1 at Toronto.

The 18-inning game matched the longest in World Series history, also at Los Angeles in 2018 against the Boston Red Sox. Monday’s contest lasted 6 hours, 39 minutes, the second-longest World Series game by time.

Game 4 is Tuesday at Los Angeles, with Ohtani opposing Toronto right-hander Shane Bieber.
