In Game 4 of the American League Championship Series, Max Scherzer pitched like his old self, holding the Seattle Mariners in check.
Andrés Giménez homered and drove in four runs, helping the Toronto Blue Jays win 8–2.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. added another homer—their fifth of the postseason for him.
The win evens the series at 2–2.
Game 5 in the best-of-seven series is tonight, with Kevin Gausman scheduled to start for Toronto against Game 1 winner Bryce Miller.
Tommy Edman hit a tiebreaking single off hard-throwing rookie Jacob Misiorowski in a two-run sixth inning, and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Milwaukee Brewers 3-1 on Thursday to take a 3-0 lead in their NL Championship Series.
Los Angeles moved within one win of becoming the first defending champion to reach the World Series since the 2009 Philadelphia Phillies. No team has won consecutive titles since the 1998-2000 New York Yankees took three in a row.
Game 4 is today.
The only one of the 41 teams that overcame a 3-0 postseason deficit was the 2004 Boston Red Sox against the Yankees, sparked by current Dodgers manager Dave Roberts.
Dodgers pitcher Tyler Glasnow talks about the win over the Brewers in LA last night: “Just being in my hometown, it’s a pretty surreal feeling.”
Final out of Game 3. Dodgers beat the Brewers 3-1. Dodgers now 3-0 in the series.
