Freddie Freeman delivered one of the most dramatic moments in recent postseason history by hitting a walk-off home run in the bottom of the 18th inning, sending the Los Angeles Dodgers to a marathon victory over the Toronto Blue Jays and giving L.A. a 2-1 lead in the World Series. The game matched the record for the longest in World Series history and featured high emotion, clutch performances, and relentless tension with both teams exhausting their bullpens and benches. Shohei Ohtani wowed listeners again, launching two home runs for the Dodgers and setting a new postseason record along the way, while Alejandro Kirk powered the Blue Jays with a critical three-run homer in the fourth inning to momentarily put Toronto ahead.

The World Series, now deep into a classic battle, has featured razor-thin margins, bold defensive plays, and aggressive baserunning—six outs on the basepaths highlighted Game 3’s wild swings. The Dodgers' ability to outlast the Jays in extra innings not only shifted momentum in their favor but also raised questions about bullpen endurance and roster structuring heading into Game 4 at Dodger Stadium.

With both clubs pushing their rotations, notable roster and injury updates remain a key concern. The grind of 18 innings may force managers Dave Roberts and John Schneider to make late adjustments or call up reinforcements from their respective taxi squads. No major new trades or signings have been announced as most of MLB remains focused on the Fall Classic, but several teams have quietly begun early offseason preparations, with sources indicating that a handful of clubs are closely monitoring top international prospects and minor league standouts as winter approaches.

Elsewhere in professional baseball, while MLB action dominates the headlines, Japan’s Nippon Professional Baseball and the Korean Baseball Organization have both entered their playoff phases, with several former MLB players making notable impacts for their teams abroad.

Looking ahead, tonight’s Game 4 is set to be a must-watch as the Dodgers aim for a commanding series lead and Toronto seeks to even things up behind its top starters and late-inning relievers. Momentum, fatigue, and championship dreams are all colliding in what’s shaping up to be a World Series for the ages.
