The Toronto Blue Jays<\/a> and Los Angeles<\/a> are tied 1-1 in the 2025 World Series after splitting the first two games at Rogers Centre. The series shifts to Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles for tonight\u2019s pivotal Game 3. <\/strong>
Follow below for news, updates and analysis from our reporters.
So far, this is going exactly as Max Scherzer\u2019s<\/strong> last start went. He let up a homer to Josh Naylor<\/strong> in the bottom of the second in ALCS Game 4 to fall down 1-0.
The Jays then scored eight runs for an easy win. Not that simple against Tyler Glasnow<\/strong>, though.

The Dodgers have scored first (and within the first two innings) in each of the first three games of this World Series. The big thing will be adding on \u2013 the Dodgers last scored more than five runs in a game in Game 2 of the NL Wild Card Series…nearly a month ago.<\/p>\n

▶️ After giving up the home run to former Blue Jay Teoscar Hernandez, Max Scherzer <\/strong>strikes out Tommy Edman <\/strong>and Kik\u00e9 Hern\u00e1ndez. <\/strong>The Dodgers capitalize on a Scherzer mistake and go to the third inning up one run. I feel like we will be discussing this second inning well after this game concludes, given the umpire situation in the top half. | Top 3rd Dodgers 1, Blue Jays 0<\/strong>
Teo<\/strong> is the ultimate \u201cgive up one, drive in two\u201d kind of guy. Tons of big postseason homers.
Not only was Teoscar Hern\u00e1ndez<\/strong> coming off a rough Game 2, he was 1-for-7 with five strikeouts in his career against Max Scherzer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Teoscar Hern\u00e1ndez<\/strong> was 0 for 4 with 4 strikeouts in Game 2 \u2014 something that hadn\u2019t been done in the World Series since 2017, when Cody Bellinger did it (twice) for the Dodgers. Hern\u00e1ndez just recovered in a big way with that home run.

The Dodgers haven't hit the ball over the fence quite as well as they did last October. That was just their 17th blast in 13 games, after 27 in 16 games last postseason. And Teoscar Hern\u00e1ndez<\/strong> hit that ball way, way over the fence.<\/p>\n

▶️ Boom! Teoscar Hern\u00e1ndez <\/strong>opens the scoring with a massive blast to deep left field for his fifth homer of the playoffs. Max Scherzer <\/strong>did not locate that breaking ball right, over the heart of the plate. Hern\u00e1ndez capitalizes and the Dodgers have a lead! | Bottom 2nd Dodgers 1, Blue Jays 0<\/strong>
That pickoff wouldn\u2019t happen in an ABS challenge system, either! Daulton Varsho<\/strong> surely would\u2019ve challenged, and the ball four would\u2019ve given Bo Bichette<\/strong> second base. Something to keep in mind.<\/p>\n

Not something an umpire wants to have happen, as it can take you out of your rhythm a little bit and you have to fight for that not to happen. It\u2019s so mental. You mentally have to be letting go of whatever awkwardness had just happened. Let it go. Kind of like a player, you boot a double-play ball you can\u2019t dwell on it because the next one\u2019s coming at you.<\/p>\n

▶️ Max Scherzer <\/strong>makes Max Muncy <\/strong>attack the first pitch, but it is a pop fly to right field, easily caught by Addison Barger<\/strong>. Good start to the second inning for the 41-year-old. | Bottom 2nd Blue Jays 0, Dodgers 0<\/strong>

That\u2019s a really bad look for umpire Mark Wegner. The strike call was obviously wrong, so Daulton Varsho<\/strong> should have been walked. But Wegner obviously didn\u2019t communicate clearly enough for Varsho to know it wasn\u2019t ball 4.
I can\u2019t fault Bo Bichette <\/strong>for drifting off the base after Varsho started moving towards first.
Well, the Dodgers just got saved a run out of that whole ordeal. Bo Bichette <\/strong>would\u2019ve easily scored on Alejandro Kirk<\/strong>\u2019s <\/strong>single otherwise.<\/p>\n

▶️ Tyler Glasnow <\/strong>escapes not giving up any runs. He strikes out Addison Barger <\/strong>with a high fast ball. Ernie Clement <\/strong>jumps on the first pitch to center field, but it is caught for the out.
The runners are stranded on first and third. What could\u2019ve been for the Blue Jays if Bo Bichette <\/strong>didn\u2019t get out on the base path? | Bottom 2nd Blue Jays 0, Dodgers 0<\/strong>
That\u2019s the umpire\u2019s fault. Late call that\u2019s quiet. Especially when it\u2019s loud, can\u2019t happen. Joe West used to have a call like that where you had to ask if he called a strike because you couldn\u2019t hear it.<\/p>\n

▶️ The Blue Jays are knocking on the door. Alejandro Kirk <\/strong>hits a base hit to right field. Runners on the corner one out for Addison Barger<\/strong>. | Top 2nd Blue Jays 0, Dodgers 0<\/strong>

Mark has a bit of a slow signal, but he voices the pitch beforehand. Obviously, the hitter thought it was a ball four and started walking away. I think the baserunner saw the batter starting to come toward first thought it was a walk also.
▶️ After Bo Bichette <\/strong>gets out thinking he was going to second and it was ball four, Daulton Varsho <\/strong>draws the walk. How different this inning could\u2019ve been if it was first and second nobody outs. | Top 2nd Blue Jays 0, Dodgers 0<\/strong>
Oh wow. Daulton Varsho <\/strong>(correctly) thought it was ball four. Bo Bichette<\/strong> thought it was ball four. Everyone but Mark Wegner thought it was ball four. But the Dodgers caught Bo Bichette napping on the play and got a free out.<\/p>\n
