A bloody match.

The Los Angeles Dodgers produced a dramatic game in the 18th inning of overtime once again following 2018. What a miraculous victory.

The Dodgers won 6-5 in Game 3 of the World Series against the Toronto Blue Jays at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California on the 28th (Korea time). The Dodgers won a dramatic walk-off victory at home, laying the groundwork for its advantage in the series.




It was the kind of game where the word of a great match, which did not need to be explained, matched. They turned the tables, and the home run burst. In the second half, the all-time bullpen fight unfolded. There were also several scenes in which he died sideways on the base of his desire to win. It was a sweaty game.

At first, the Dodgers took the lead. The 41-year-old legend succeeded in targeting Max Scherzer. Teoscar Hernandez and Ohtani hit back-to-back solo shots.

But Toronto turned the game around. In the top of the fourth inning, Edman faced a crisis by missing a hit that had to be handled with a double play, where Alejandro Kirk's come-from-behind three-run shot broke out. Toronto, which continued its momentum, shook Dodgers starter Tyler Glasnow, who threw well with a sacrifice fly score.

However, the Dodgers tied it in the fifth inning. Ohtani's RBI double sparked a chase, and Freddie Freeman's equalizer came out.

The two teams scored one more point each in the seventh inning. When Toronto ran away with Bobissett's timely hit in the top of the seventh inning, Ohtani balanced it with his second home run of the game in the bottom of the seventh inning. Up until this point, not many people would have expected the game to continue to lead to a march of zero.

A bloody bullpen war between the two teams. Pitchers didn't overwhelm the batter. Chances came from both teams almost every inning, but there was no decisive hit to break down the opponent. In the top of the eighth inning, Roki Sasaki was on the verge of second and third bases with two outs in the aftermath of Mookie Betts' error, but he caught Nathan Luquez and breathed a sigh of relief.




In the top of the ninth inning, the Dodgers almost fell into a crisis again, but Edman's picturesque throw to the third base caught the runner and overcame the crisis once again. In the top of the 10th inning, first baseman Davis Schneider dug home on Luquez's double and was caught by Edman's blade throw once again.

The highlights are the beginning of the 12th and the end of the 13th inning. In the top of the 12th inning, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts put Clayton Kershaw in the top of the 12th inning with the bases loaded with two outs. Kershaw caught Luquez with an infield grounder and roared.

At the bottom of the 13th inning, Eric Lauer, a former KIA Tigers player, almost became a traitor. Lauer was doubled by Dodgers leadoff hitter Tommy Edman. It was a big crisis to end the bunt with one out and third base. However, Lauer treated Alex Cole as an infield play. After filling Ohtani and Betts with four pitches on purpose, he caught left-handed batter Freddie Freeman and succeeded in extending his life. One score that was so good did not come out until the 17th inning of overtime. Ohtani, who had four hits in four at-bats with two home runs and two doubles, then got on base with four intentional pitches for four consecutive times. Ohtani made a new history in the Major League postseason by getting on base in all nine at-bats. However, the problem was that Ohtani couldn't play, so the Dodgers' scoring was blocked.

And the 18th inning of fate. If they didn't score in the 18th inning, they would break through the 18th inning of the longest inning of the World Series they wrote in Game 3 of the 2018 World Series. But Freeman refused to allow this. He came out as a leadoff hitter and hit a picturesque walk-off home run against left-hander Brandon Little. In last year's World Series, Freeman also hit a miraculous come-from-behind grand slam in Game 1. In 2018, Max Muncy hit a walk-off home run.
