Dodgers Force World Series Game 7 After Blue Jays' Barger Error

In Game 6 of the World Series, the Toronto Blue Jays suffered a 3-1 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers, forcing a decisive Game 7. Addison Barger, the Blue Jays' right fielder, took full responsibility for a critical baserunning mistake in the ninth inning, admitting he misread a line drive that was caught by Dodgers left fielder Enrique Hernandez. Barger, hoping to score the tying run, had drifted too far from second base and was doubled off on Hernandez's throw, ending Toronto's comeback hopes. The bizarre game also featured a ground-rule double when Barger's earlier hit lodged in the outfield wall, which prevented a potentially game-tying run. Despite the loss, the series remains alive with Game 7 set to take place in Toronto, where the Blue Jays aim for their first championship since 1993. U.S. media and analysts highlighted the dramatic ending and questioned how the Dodgers could not gain momentum from such a pivotal play, underscoring the intensity and unpredictability of the World Series.
