DODGERS SINK JAYS, FORCE GAME SEVEN World Series goes down to the wire

The Los Angeles Dodgers, fuelled by a three-run third inning and another dominant pitching performance from Yoshinobu Yamamoto, beat the Toronto Blue Jays 3-1 on Friday to force a decisive World Series game seven.

The defending champions Dodgers had to dig deep to thwart the Blue Jays’ ninth-inning rally bid and knot Major League Baseball's best-of-seven championship series at three games apiece.

They kept their bid for the first title repeat in 25 years alive while the Blue Jays will be aiming to claim their first title in 32 years when they host game seven this morning, Thai time.

Dodgers pitcher Tyler Glasnow, scheduled to start game seven, stepped in with Blue Jays runners on second and third with no outs in the ninth.

He induced a fly out from Ernie Clement before Andres Gimenez hit into a game-ending double play — Dodgers left fielder Enrique Hernandez fielding Gimenez’s line drive and firing the ball to second base, where Miguel Rojas caught Addison Barger for the final out.
