Lefty reliever Tug McGraw clinched the 1980 World Series title with a strikeout of a right-handed hitter; right-hander Brad Lidge fanned a lefty hitter to clinch in 2008. Tug wore No. 45; Lidge No. 54.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto went the distance in World Series Game 2 on Saturday. It was a contest of which starter would blink first, and Yamamoto never did. Dodgers catcher Will Smith hit a go-ahead home run in the seventh inning, and the Dodgers beat the Blue Jays 5-1 to even this series as it shifts to Los Angeles for Monday’s Game 3.
