In the bottom of the first, with Shohei Ohtani on the ropes, Bo Bichette hit a three-run home run to give the Jays the lead. It was just the second time in the series that they've scored first. But the Dodgers started to chip away at the lead. In the fourth, Teoscar Hernández hit a sacrifice fly to make it 3-1, then Tommy Edman hit a sacrifice fly to make it 3-2 in the top of the sixth.

Well the offseason has officially begun and we will see decisions on a bunch of player and team options in the next five days, as well as likely a managerial hire and some roster churn. Mark Bowman seemingly reported that Pierce Johnson and Tyler Kinley's team options would be picked up, which both seemed likely but not guaranteed, while casting a little doubt on Albies' option, not to suggest that Ozzie is unlikely to return, however.

1991 - The Braves fall to the Twins, 1-0 in 10 innings in Game 7 of the World Series. Gene Larkin's single in the 10th is the difference. Jack Morris tosses 10 shutout innings and is named MVP. 1999 - The Yankees defeat the Braves, 4-1 to complete a four-game sweep. Atlanta joins the New York Giants as the only teams to lose four World Series in a decade. 2021 - The Braves fall to the Astros, 7-2 in Game 2 of the World Series

World Series heads to Los Angeles: The World Series departed Toronto yesterday all tied up after a dominant complete game from right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and now both teams have arrived in L.A. for Game 3. On the mound for the Dodgers is right-hander Tyler Glasnow (3.19), while the Blue Jays will counter with veteran righty Max Scherzer (5.19 ERA). The future Hall of Famer had an uneven year, but he did manage to strike out five in 5 2/3 innings while

As all of Braves County knows, this is a very important off-season ahead for Atlanta after the past two seasons have ended well short of expectations. However, though the Mets and Phillies had better seasons than the Braves, both NL East rivals fell short of expectations as well. And like the Braves, both the Mets and Phillies could be progressing toward significant changes this off-season. However, one change that will not occur is that the Phillies will not be looking to trade Bryce Harper.

At any rate, we kicked off the Monday edition of Leafs Morning Take by talking some World Series. The scene has shifted to Los Angeles for the next three games -starting with Game 3 tonight. Friend of the show Max Scherzer gets the ball for Toronto. We still can't believe that the Blue Jays are in the World Series. Amazing. The city has been buzzing.

"He's handled this last month with class, professionalism. All the while, he's always said that he wants to do anything he can to help the team," Roberts said. "He's followed through on that. All the stuff, finishing out the season and how everything kind of played out, was a lot on his plate. He handled it with grace. And then the kind of uncertainty of role going to the pen, he's just fallen in line. So he's adjusted his kind"

Glasnow's last start was Game 3 of the National League Championship Series against the Milwaukee Brewers. He pitched 5 and 2/3 innings, giving up only one run on three hits, and striking out eight hitters. The California product has rested since his start on October 16th and is coming out fresh to get his start at Dodger Stadium. The Blue Jays have gotten their fair look at Glasnow over the years, as he was a part of the American League East under the Tampa Bay Rays banner before being dealt to the West Coast.

2010 - In Game 2 of the 2010 World Series, the Giants rout the Rangers, 9-0, but the score is only 1-0 in the 7th when Texas starter C.J. Wilson leaves with a blister on his finger. Matt Cain and two relievers combine on a four-hit shutout. Texas has allowed 20 runs in the first two World Series games in franchise history, setting a major league record.

Facing off against the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 3 of the World Series, the two teams played just the second 18-inning game in World Series history. Overall, it lasted six hours and 39 minutes, with the Dodgers prevailing thanks to a home run by Freddie Freeman. To say this was heartbreaking for the Blue Jays and their fans would be an understatement. Game 3 was a pivotal one, as the Dodgers took a 2-1 series lead with at least two more games in California.
