"The Los Angeles Dodgers held off a late Toronto Blue Jays rally to secure a 3-1 win in Game 6 of the World Series, evening the series at three games apiece and setting up a winner-takes-all Game 7 on Saturday night. The contest ended in dramatic fashion when Blue Jays shortstop Andres Gimenez lined into a game-ending double play. Charging forward, Hernandez snatched the ball in left field and fired to second base, where Miguel Rojas made a clean pick on Addison Barger,"
"He credited a rare moment of silence from the roaring crowd for helping him track the ball. "I was just anticipating him hitting the ball like to the left side of the field and just playing shallow, trying to keep the runner at second base from scoring," Hernandez said. "But for a split-second, as Glasnow threw the ball, the crowd got quiet, and I was able to hear that the bat broke. So, I just got a really good jump on the ball, and I came in.""
The Dodgers won Game 6 by a 3-1 score to even the World Series at three games apiece and force a decisive Game 7. All scoring occurred in the third inning when Mookie Betts capped a three-run Dodgers rally with a two-run single and George Springer added an RBI for Toronto. Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Kevin Gausman each worked six strong innings before the bullpens took over. The game ended when Hernandez caught Andres Gimenez's liner and threw to Miguel Rojas to double off Addison Barger; the play was reviewed and confirmed. Hernandez said crowd silence helped him hear the bat break and react.
