A four-run seventh inning has put the Blue Jays up 6-1 in Game 4 of the World Series against the L.A. Dodgers.

The Blue Jays and the Dodgers are coming off a marathon Game 3 that lasted 18 innings and over six-and-a-half hours, eventually ending in a Freddie Freeman home run to give the Dodgers a series lead.

In Game 4, L.A.’s Max Muncy scored on a sacrifice fly from Enrique Hernández in the second inning to open up the scoring.

An inning later, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. brought Nathan Lukes home with a two-run homer to deep left-centre field to give the Jays a 2-1 lead. With the swing of the bat, Guerrero Jr. made Blue Jays history, with the most postseason home runs at seven.

The bats were quiet until back-to-back hits from Dalton Varsho and Ernie Clement kicked off the seventh inning and led to Ohtani’s exit from the game as a pitcher. He remains in the lineup as a Designated Hitter.

Both Varsho and Clement came in to score off of a single from Andrés Giménez and an RBI from Ty France.

An intentional walk put Guerrero Jr. on first which Bo Bichette followed up with a single, bringing Giménez home. Guerrero Jr. would score off an Addison Bargr single to left centre field, giving the Jays a 6-1 lead.

George Springer is not in the Toronto Blue Jays’ lineup for Game 4 of the World Series after he left Game 3 on Monday with what the team called right-side discomfort.

The Dodgers lead the World Series 2-1. Game 5 will be Wednesday night in L.A.
