The Dodgers need their monster from Japan to hit again and their samurai to shine on the mound.
The defending World Series champions arrived and trained yesterday at the Rogers Center in Toronto, where today they will entrust themselves to Yoshinobu Yamamoto, author of complete games in his recent starts, to try to win and force Game 7 of a World Series that is now seen as a reserved forecast.
Toronto surprised the Dodgers by winning two games on their trip to Los Angeles and is now within striking distance of winning its first pennant since 1993.
Los Angeles, which looked like a big favorite in the previous ones, seeks to become the first team to win consecutive titles since the Yankees won three in a row from 1998 to 2000. Yamamoto will start on Friday for the Dodgers and Kevin Gausman will do the same for the Blue Jays, in a reissue of the second game. The Japanese ace threw the first four-hit complete game in the World Series since 2015. He has thrown the first consecutive postseason complete games since Curt Schilling strung together three in 2001.
In Game 5, the Dodgers were blinded by the great work of Trey Yesavage, whose pitches stunned Ohtani and the entire string of Dodgers hitters. That is why Roberts requires that they wake up and urgently.
