The World Series is advancing to Game 7 on Saturday, after the Toronto Blue Jays lost Game 6 against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The Halloween spooks seem to have gotten to the Blue Jays, and even after a record-breaking Game 5 win, the team has lost the match against the Jays, with a score of 3-1.
The first inning ended on a high note for the Jays after Kevin Gausman’s pitch made both Will Smith and Freddie Freeman lose their swing. The player also scored five strikeouts for the team by the second inning.
The game first started going south for Toronto during the third inning. Tommy Edman opened the score for the Dodgers after hitting a one-out double. Mookie Betts hit the ball and reached first base, allowing Shohei Ohtani and Will Smith to run home and score two more runs for the team.
Right-fielder George Springer was back in the competition after missing games 4 and 5 due to an injury from Game 3. And it was him who hit a single and allowed Addison Barger to open the score for the Jays in the third inning.
Despite the loss, fans kept the vibes going in Toronto all night, combining their Halloween celebrations with cheering for the Jays, and showing up for the team in the city’s bars, watch parties, and right outside the stadium.
Toronto’s very own favourite rapper Drake also showed up for the Jays, appearing at the Rogers Centre to watch the game.
This night’s loss means that the Jays will be coming back to the Rogers Stadium on Saturday for Game 7, which will decide the winner of this World Series. First pitch is at 8 p.m.
