"Game 3 on Monday night was a wild and wacky affair that lasted six hours and 39 minutes and featured 609 pitches thrown by 19 different pitchers. It came to an end on a Freddie Freeman solo home run in the bottom of the 18th inning. It was a historic blast in the sense that it ended a game that was tied for the longest World Series game in MLB history."
"They got there thanks to the fact that they were unintimidated by two-way Japanese superstar Shohei Ohtani, who set a MLB playoff record the previous night by reaching base nine times. He took to the mound in Game 4 for his first World Series start and while he was effective for the first two innings, he got into trouble in the third."
The Toronto Blue Jays beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-2 in Game 4 to even the World Series at 2-2 and regain home-field advantage. The Blue Jays scored early, added runs in a seventh-inning 'Blue Jays' style rally, and completed a tidy nine-inning victory after an 18-inning Game 3. Monday's marathon ended on a Freddie Freeman solo home run in the 18th, marking the longest World Series game tie and Freeman's second career World Series walk-off, a first in MLB history. Shohei Ohtani started Game 4, reached base nine times the previous night, and struggled after two effective innings.
