"Facing elimination in Game 6, the Dodgers defeated Toronto 3-1 and forced a Game 7, keeping their back-to-back championship hopes alive. Mookie Betts finally broke from his postseason slump with a crucial two-run single in the third that ignited the Dodgers' offensive spark. A dramatic ninth inning, capped by a double-play save, sealed the Dodgers' unlikely comeback in their quest for consecutive championships."
"The Dodgers, it turns out, chose the perfect costume in which to parade on this scariest of Halloween nights. They came dressed as the Dodgers. The Yoshinobu-Yamamoto-firing Dodgers. The Mookie-Betts-blasting Dodgers. The energetic-and-inspired Dodgers. The listless team of the previous two games was gone. The passionate team of the previous month was back. Earlier this week fans were asking, who are those guys? On Friday they emphatically answered that question by finally, forcefully, being themselves."
Facing elimination in Game 6, the Dodgers defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 3-1 to force a decisive Game 7. Mookie Betts snapped his postseason slump with a two-run single in the third inning that ignited the offense. The game ended with a dramatic ninth-inning double play: a lineout caught by Kiké Hernández, who sprinted in and threw to Miguel Rojas, whose scooped catch doubled off Addison Barger. The Blue Jays began the inning with runners on second and third and none out but failed to score. The victory restored the Dodgers' energy and momentum in their pursuit of consecutive titles.
