Dodgers Force Game 7 After Ninth-Inning Double Play

The Los Angeles Dodgers rallied for a 3-1 win in Game 6 of the World Series, forcing a decisive Game 7 at Toronto's Rogers Centre. In the ninth inning, Addison Barger lofted a ball that lodged at the base of the left-center wall and was ruled a ground-rule double, sending Barger back to second and pinch-runner Myles Straw to third. Moments later Enrique “Kiké” Hernández made a running catch and fired to second, where Miguel Rojas scooped the one-hop throw to double off Barger and end the game. The Dodgers bullpen, including Tyler Glasnow, had shut down the Blue Jays' rally earlier in the inning to preserve the win. Barger called it a “bad read,” and players, coaches and fans debated the dead-ball call and Hernández’s instinctive, game-ending play. The Blue Jays now prepare for a winner-take-all Game 7, with Max Scherzer expected to start against Shohei Ohtani.
