With the Blue Jays’ gritty Game 4 victory, they even up the World Series and guarantee that the winner will be crowned in Toronto.
If the Dodgers go on to win the series, it’d be their sixth consecutive championship that they clinched on the road. They haven’t won a clinching World Series game in Los Angeles since 1963, when Sandy Koufax outdueled Whitey Ford and the Dodgers completed a four-game sweep of the New York Yankees.
The Dodgers were designated the home team when they won the World Series in 2020, but the games were played at a neutral site in Arlington, Texas, because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their other clinching victories have come at new Yankee Stadium (2024), the Oakland Coliseum (1988), original Yankee Stadium (1981) and Minnesota’s Metropolitan Stadium (1965). Three of those ballparks, of course, are disused or no longer stand.
