The Los Angeles Dodgers celebrated a thrilling victory in Game 3 of the World Series against the Toronto Blue Jays, marked by a dramatic walk-off home run from Freddie Freeman in the bottom of the 18th inning. This intense matchup saw the Dodgers take the lead in the series, fueled by standout performances, particularly from Shohei Ohtani, who hit two home runs earlier in the game.
Ohtani’s remarkable capabilities have earned him significant praise, with Blue Jays players calling him the greatest of all time (GOAT) in Major League Baseball. He not only excelled with his bat but also is expected to take the mound as the starting pitcher in Game 4, just 17 hours after the epic conclusion of Game 3.
Will Klein, who emerged as a key player during the lengthy match, pitched from the 15th to the 18th inning, allowing only one hit while throwing an impressive 72 pitches as the 10th and final pitcher from the Dodgers’ bullpen. Klein expressed admiration for Ohtani, noting, “He’s a freak… Being the best hitter and the best pitcher in the league, there’s no word to describe it other than he’s the GOAT.”
Ohtani had a remarkable night, appearing on base a staggering nine times; he achieved two home runs, recorded a couple of doubles, and was walked five times, four of which were intentional. His recent pitching performances add to the excitement—his last outing featured ten strikeouts, three walks, and only two hits in over six innings, all while delivering an exceptional hitting display with three home runs.
As anticipation builds for Game 4, Ohtani’s dual-threat potential has fans eager to witness his capabilities continue to unfold on the grand stage of the World Series. The Dodgers are poised for another exciting match, looking to maintain their momentum as they aim for the championship.
