Yamamoto pitched a complete game and L.A. scored two runs in seventh inning and two in eighth to retake lead over Toronto
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.
Yet two swings by Will Smith did, and that was the very narrow margin between Gausman and Los Angeles Dodgers stalwart Yoshinobu Yamamoto, as Smith’s go-ahead home run in the seventh inning broke up a fantastic pitching duel and Yamamoto pitched a four-hitter, lifting the Dodgers to an eventual 5-1 victory at Rogers Centre.
Will the Dodgers win their second straight title? Or will the Jays capture their first championship since 1993?
What a Game 7. What a World Series. The Dodgers are champs again. And this time, they won it in unbelievably thrilling fashion. A game-tying home run from Miguel Rojas in the ninth. A game-winning home run from Will Smith in the 11th.
The Blue Jays came back from a 2-1 deficit to take a 3-2 World Series lead without him. Yet Springer’s playoff exploits – an .884 OPS and four home runs, including a go-ahead three-run shot in ALCS Game 7 – have not been forgotten by his teammates.
