A sleeping giant finally woke up late Monday evening on the West Coast and early Tuesday morning on the East Coast.
Freddie Freeman came on in the bottom of the 18th inning and hit a solo home run that gave the Los Angeles Dodgers a World Series Game 3 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays 6-5. He became the first player in MLB postseason history to hit multiple walk-off home runs in the World Series. He did it in Game 1 against the New York Yankees last year.

The marathon could have ended any time between the 10th and 18th innings. The Dodgers had a great chance in the bottom of the 13th. Freeman came to bat with the bases loaded and hit the ball as far as he could before being tracked down by a Blue Jays outfielder.
Toronto made some risky decisions on the basepaths that led to outs. It was worth trying to close out the game at the time, but defensive plays from Tommy Edman and Teoscar Hernandez ended any hopes of a Blue Jays victory.
Without it, the game might not have even sniffed out extra innings Shohei Ohtani.
Ohtani hit two home runs in a 4-for-4 night for the Dodgers. He reached base safely nine times, setting a World Series record. Ohtani is expected to start in Game 4 on Tuesday night – less than 24 hours after Freeman’s home run.
“I want to go to sleep as soon as possible so I can get ready,” Ohtani told FOX’s Tom Verducci through an interpreter.

Dodgers reliever Will Klein also played a big role in Los Angeles’ victory. Klein pitched four innings of scoreless baseball and struck out five. He threw 72 throws – the second most of the night behind starter Tyler Glasnow.
Hernandez got things started in Los Angeles with a solo home run against the Blue Jays’ starter Max Scherzer in the second inning. Ohtani followed up with his first home run of the night in the third inning. But those were Scherzer’s only two blemishes.
The veteran star pitcher recorded the route home. He was struck out for three earned runs on five hits in 4.1 innings.
Toronto struck back in the fourth period.
Blue Jays catcher Alejandro Kirk hit a three-run home run off Tyler Glasnow to give Toronto the lead. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette scored on the dinger. Later, Andres Gimenez scored on a sacrifice fly for Addison Barger.

An Ohtani RBI double and a Freddie Freeman RBI single tied the game in the bottom of the fifth. But Bichette prevailed against Guerrero and took back the lead.
Of course, Ohtani had the chance to make even more of an impact. With no one left at the end of the seventh round, Ohtani hit one Monster home run defeated Seranthony Dominguez and tied the game again.
