"Late-night parties always come with a price. On Tuesday, the Dodgers were reminded of the next-day cost. Just 17 hours removed from their 18-inning marathon in Game 3 of the World Series, both the Dodgers and the Toronto Blue Jays seemed to be playing at a slower, more sluggish pace early on Tuesday evening. Their offenses scuffled. Their starters pitched methodically. Their emotional batteries (and that of a capacity crowd at Dodger Stadium, for that matter) seemed to be in low-power mode."
"Eventually, however, the team facing more desperation to save its season rallied and finally conjured life. And with a 6-2 win in Game 4 at Chavez Ravine, the Blue Jays threw another wrench into this back-and-forth Fall Classic fight. Thanks to a go-ahead two-run homer from Vladimir Guerrero Jr. in the third, then a four-run rally in the seventh against the Dodgers' fatigued and faulty bullpen, Toronto tied this World Series 2-2 and ensured a trip home for Game 6 on Friday night."
Both teams appeared sluggish early, still affected by a 17-hour turnaround after an 18-inning Game 3, with offenses scuffling and starters pitching methodically. The Blue Jays rallied to a 6-2 win in Game 4 at Chavez Ravine, keyed by Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s go-ahead two-run homer in the third and a four-run seventh against a fatigued Dodgers bullpen. The victory tied the World Series 2-2 and sent the series back to Toronto for Game 6. The Blue Jays entered the game having lost Game 3 in a late Freddie Freeman walk-off, suffered George Springer’s apparent side injury, and leaned on their bullpen and timely hitting.
