Blue Jays Bounce Back, Even World Series Against Dodgers

Summary
- Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hits two-run homer off Shohei Ohtani
- Shane Bieber pitches four-hit ball into the sixth inning
- Blue Jays reclaim home-field advantage with 6-2 win
On October 28, 2025, the Toronto Blue Jays bounced back from their heartbreaking 18-inning loss in Game 3 to even the World Series with a 6-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 4. The Blue Jays' star slugger, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., hit a two-run homer off Dodgers' ace Shohei Ohtani, while newcomer Shane Bieber pitched four-hit ball into the sixth inning.
By sending the defending champion Dodgers to just their third loss in 14 games this postseason, the Blue Jays reclaimed home-field advantage. This means the World Series trophy will be won at Rogers Centre, with Game 6 scheduled to take place in Toronto on Friday.
Ohtani, who had reached base nine times and smashed four extra-base hits in the Dodgers' Game 3 victory, took the mound just over 17 hours later. However, he was outpitched by Bieber, the 2020 AL Cy Young Award winner who returned from Tommy John surgery in late August. Bieber issued three walks but repeatedly got out of trouble, stranding four runners before being relieved in the sixth.
The Blue Jays finally broke through against Ohtani in the third inning, with Guerrero's majestic seventh homer of the postseason giving them a 2-1 lead. Toronto then added four more runs in the seventh to chase Ohtani and take control of the game.
