Hollywood may have been ready for Shohei Ohtani’s show, but Vladimir Guerrero Jr. owned the spotlight Tuesday night.
The Blue Jays slugger launched a two-run homer off Ohtani in the third inning — the difference-maker in Toronto’s 6–2 win over the Dodgers in Game 4 of the World Series.
With the series now tied 2–2, the teams will return to Toronto for Game 6 on Friday — but not before one last showdown at Dodger Stadium on Wednesday.
“When you’re competing, something good happens,” Guerrero told Sportsnet’s Hazel Mae after the game.
It was Guerrero’s seventh homer of the postseason, breaking the franchise record, and his fourth that flipped a Blue Jays deficit into a lead — an MLB record.
Toronto broke the game open with a four-run seventh, powered by clutch hits from Andrés Giménez, Bo Bichette, and Addison Barger. Manager John Schneider called it simply:
“It was a Blue Jay inning.”
Shane Bieber steadied Toronto after Monday’s 18-inning marathon, throwing 5.1 innings of one-run ball before handing it to the bullpen.
The right-hander — acquired midseason while rehabbing from surgery — quieted Ohtani, holding him hitless in three at-bats.
“He’s mortal,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts admitted.
From heartbreak to Hollywood redemption, the Jays flipped the script.
Game 5 goes Wednesday — Guerrero vs. Ohtani, Part II.
