Toronto –
The Los Angeles Dodgers, with a Yoshinobu Yamamoto complete-game masterclass on the mound and home runs from Will Smith and Max Muncy, beat the Toronto Blue Jays 5-1 on Saturday to level the World Series at one game apiece.
Japan’s Yamamoto, who pitched the first postseason complete game in eight years in game two of the Dodgers’ National League Championship Series triumph over Milwaukee, again went the distance in scintillating style as the Dodgers bounced back from an 11-4 Game 1 thrashing.
Game 3 of MLB’s best-of-seven championship series is on Monday in Los Angeles, where the defending champion Dodgers will also host Games 4 and 5.
