The Toronto Blue Jays have tied the best-of-seven World Series at 2-2 after a thumping 6-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers in game four.<\/b><\/p>\n

Vladimir Guerrero Jr’s early two-run homer and a glut of runs in the seventh inning helped Major League Baseball’s only Canadian side come from behind at Dodger Stadium.<\/p>\n

It also ensures the series will return to Toronto for a sixth game, and potentially a deciding seventh.<\/p>\n

After Monday’s 18-innings epic drained the energy of both teams’ bullpens, the Dodgers and Blue Jays were banking on long outings from their starting pitchers to give their relief corps some respite.<\/p>\n

All eyes were on the Dodgers’ Japanese superstar Shohei Ohtani, as this was the game where he was scheduled to double up as starting pitcher and leadoff hitter.<\/p>\n

Ohtani, 31, is an exceptionally rare “two-way” player,<\/a> operating at the elite level as both a pitcher and a hitter.<\/p>\n

But having reached base on all nine plate appearances in game three, he went hitless with the bat, and left the pitcher’s mound in the seventh inning trailing 2-1 and having put two men on base – both of whom would score – with no outs.<\/p>\n

Toronto’s less heralded starter Shane Bieber, born in California, showed no favour to the hosts, striking Ohtani out twice and pitching into the sixth inning while giving up just one run.<\/p>\n

The Dodgers had gone ahead in the bottom of the second inning when Enrique Hernandez’s sacrifice fly scored Max Muncy.<\/p>\n

Toronto’s offence was missing George Springer, who sustained a muscle injury during game three, but Guerrero stepped up and launched Ohtani over left centre field to make it 2-1.<\/p>\n

After Ohtani was taken out, Andres Gimenez, Ty France, Bo Bichette and Addison Barger all drove in runs to give the Blue Jays breathing space at 6-1 before the seventh-inning stretch.<\/p>\n

The Dodgers briefly threatened a rally in the bottom of the ninth as Teoscar Hernandez walked, Muncy doubled, and Tommy Edman ground out to score Hernandez, but Toronto closed out the win with little alarm.<\/p>\n

The series continues with game five, again at Dodger Stadium, on Wednesday evening.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
