We were spoiled with World Series Game 7s last decade, though we probably didn't full appreciate it at the time. Fall Classics went seven in 2011, 2014, 2016, 2017 and 2019. We haven't gotten to see one since then. That is, until Saturday night in Toronto. The Dodgers won Game 6 Friday night , 3-1, with a big boost from a guy who had been lost all series.

It was the top of the third. The Dodgers had already scored one run, but would that really be enough against this feisty Blue Jays team? Earlier in the inning, Shohei Ohtani was intentionally walked. After Will Smith doubled, that left first base open. Jays starter Kevin Gausman was very obviously pitching around Freddie Freeman after he fouled off the first pitch, throwing four straight balls that weren't close.
