Toronto šC Yoshinobu Yamamoto¡¯s complete-game masterclass on the mound and home runs from Will Smith and Max Muncy propelled the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 5-1 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays that knotted the World Series at one game apiece on Saturday.
Japan¡¯s Yamamoto, who pitched MLB¡¯s first postseason complete game in eight years in Game 2 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.
He retired the last 20 batters he faced, settling in after giving up one run and four hits in a nervy start to out-duel Toronto starting pitcher Kevin Gausman in a nail-biting contest.
