Justin Bieber probably wasn’t feeling very peachy after Game 3 of the World Series last night.
Bieber, a London, Ontario native, was at Dodger Stadium Monday night to watch his Toronto Blue Jays take on the home team for the right to go up 2-1 in the Fall Classic. Unfortunately, the Blue Jays came up short, losing 6-5 in an 18-inning marathon on a walk-off home run by Freddie Freeman.
Freeman was the hero for LA, but Shohei Ohtani was once again the star. The Japanese slugger went 4-for-4 with two home runs, including the game-tying blast in the bottom of the seventh inning, and an absurd five walks, as Toronto eventually decided they didn’t want to pitch to him at all anymore.
Ohtani’s first home run, off Blue Jays starter Max Scherzer, gave the Dodgers a 2-0 lead in the third inning. Shortly after the blast, the official MLB X/Twitter account shared Bieber’s in the moment reaction.
Clad in a Shane Bieber Jays jersey and seated next to his wife Hailey, the “Daisies” singer gave an enthusiastic thumbs down as the Dodger Stadium crowd roared in the background.

We can only guess that Bieber had even more negative feedback for Ohtani’s clutch home run four innings later, which tied the score at 5 after the Blue Jays had taken the lead on Vladimir Guerrero’s mad dash from first base on Bo Bichette’s single in the top of the frame.
Neither team scored for the next 10 1/2 innings, setting the stage for Freeman’s moment.
If you can’t beat him, don’t let him beat you
The Blue Jays learned their lesson too late on Monday. After Ohtani had already homered and hit an RBI double, many thought manager John Schneider would have pitched around the two-way superstar with a one-run lead in the late innings.
Schneider didn’t, but he went on to order intentional walks to Ohtani the rest of the way and hinted postgame that that will be Toronto’s strategy moving forward.
“You trust [reliever Seranthony Dominguez] to make pitches to do that,” Schneider said, via ESPN. “Sometimes for pitchers it’s hard to do that when you’re kind of trying to throw a ball, and he didn’t put it where you want to put it.
“[Ohtani] had a great game, he’s a great player, but I think after that, you just kind of take the bat out of his hands.”
Ohtani on the hill
Fresh off a monster showing with his bat Monday, Ohtani will be able to show off his pitching repertoire in Game 4 tonight.
He’ll get the ball against Bieber–Shane, not Justin–as the Dodgers look to take a commanding 3-1 lead in the series. Los Angeles is aiming to be the first back-to-back World Series champions since the 1998-2000 New York Yankees.
Game 4 is set for 8 p.m. ET tonight on FOX.
