ohtani’s tears, Guerrero’s roar…Toronto ties World Series 2025 at one apiece

MLB World Series Game 4

one day after suffering an 18-inning, 6-hour, 39-minute heartbreaking loss the day before, the Toronto Blue Jays pulled off the perfect comeback. On October 29 at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, Toronto defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-2in Game 4 of the 2025 MLB World Seriesto even the series at two games apiece. despite a strong performance from Shohei Ohtani, who started on the mound for the first time in 17 hours, the Dodgers were brought to their knees by Toronto’s focus.

after the 18th inning drama…Ohtani’s lone mound appearance

shohei Ohtani, who had saved the day in Game 3 with a record-breaking nine walks, took the mound just 17 hours later with the daunting task of starting the World Series. Despite his exhaustion, he showed the grace of an ace, pitching through the sixth inning with two runs allowed. But in the top of the seventh, a throw to Toronto’s VladimirGuerrero Jr. led to a game-tying two-run home run.

the controversy erupted in the seventh inning. with his pitch count over 90, manager Dave Roberts sent Ohtani back to the mound, and he was eventually pulled after back-to-back singles left two runners on base. The bullpen that followed would bring them all home, leaving Ohtani with a final record of six innings and a four-run loss. it was a frustrating day for Ohtani, who was also silent at the plate, going 0-for-3, proving that the “God of Baseball” is human after all.

a resurgent Toronto batting lineup puts the series back on track

the previous day’s shocking loss didn’t shake Toronto’s focus, as the Jays, sparked by Guerrero Jr.’s game-winning home run, went on a tear in the top of the seventh inning, scoring four runs to put the game out of reach. AddisonBarger, who has been on fire throughout the postseason, led the offense with another multi-hit day.

the Dodgers, on the other hand, were stymied by the silence of their bats outside of Ohtani, especially Mookie Betts, who was touted as the “Fall Guy,” but was unable to break out of his slump and open up the offense. In the end, the game ended in a 6-2 victory for Toronto, and the series is back to even at two games apiece. The two teams will now meet in a fateful Game 5 at Dodger Stadium.
