KEY DETAILS Follow along here for live updates (All times Eastern): 11:55 p.m. - Schneider on Game 4 and Yesavage During his post-game press conference, Blue Jays manager John Schneider says he feels good about where his team is. “It’s hard to play 18 innings and come back and kind of flip the narrative against a very talented team and a very talented individual in Shohei Ohtani on the mound. I feel really good about just us,” he said. Looking ahead to Wednesday, the Jays manager says he is confident in sending Trey Yesavage to the mound. “Trey, I think, has been someone that’s kind of come into our environment and he understands kind of how we go about it. So I don’t want him to think, he has to do anything other than what we expect him to do. And it’s going to take all 26 again tomorrow,” Schneider said. “But I feel really comfortable and confident with him on the mound, and tomorrow presents a new challenge against Blake Snell again.” The Blue Jays beat Snell in Game 1. - Bryann Aguilar, CP24.com digital journalist 11:38 p.m. – ‘Biggest start of my career’: Bieber Shane Bieber called taking the mound tonight the “biggest start” of his career postgame. “Coming off of Tommy John (surgery), I’m feeling pretty good all things considered… I’m very grateful for the opportunity,” Bieber told MLB on Fox’s Ken Rosenthal. “It was a big team win. I would have loved to have been able to get through a couple more innings just coming off of last night… And at the same time, these guys picked me up in a huge way.” Bieber also told Rosenthal that “not caring” about the odds is what makes the Jays so resilient. “We don’t care. Obviously, it’s tough to lose a guy like George (Springer) for even for just one game… But the same time, we have so many guys that are capable of impacting the game in a positive way.” - Laura Sebben, CTVNewsToronto.ca digital journalist 11:32 p.m. – Jays fans happy about win About 30,000 Blue Jays fans at the Rogers Centre are thrilled about the 6-2 victory tonight. “It’s a big win.

I mean, looking at guys, like, even Will Smith who caught every single inning out of that 18-inning game, I think it was really impressive to see. So we just have to turn the page and focus on the next game,” Ohtani said. He complimented Shane Bieber for pitching really well, saying the Jays pitcher “attacked really at the edge and was able to execute location-wise.” - Bryann Aguilar, CP24.com digital journalist 11:13 p.m. - Fans at Scotiabank Arena react to win 11:04 p.m. – Guerrero Jr. racking up the hits Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has joined a small group of players as having the most hits in a single postseason, according to MLB writer Sarah Langs.

And the guys play for one another. It’s really, really cool to watch them just come every day and focus on what’s important.” As for Shane Bieber’s start, Schneider said it’s “so far, so good.” “Shane his last few outings, especially in the postseason, when he kind of gets into the game, he gets into a good rhythm,” he said. “I think that his breaking ball is good, curveball especially, good change up to Shohei there for the strikeout. I’d like to see him use his heater a little bit more, locate that and open up some other things, but right now, I think he’s pitching like a veteran does.” - Laura Sebben, CTVNewsToronto.ca digital journalist 9:18 p.m. – Bieber ends Ohtani’s on-base streak Blue Jays starter Shane Bieber struck out Shohei Ohtani in the bottom of the third, ending Ohtani’s World Series record on-base streak at 11 consecutive plate appearances. - Laura Sebben, CTVNewsToronto.ca digital journalist 9:12 p.m. - Scenes at Rogers Centre as Vlad hit HR Blue Jays fans who are at the Rogers Centre to watch Game 4 jump out of their seats as they watch Vlad Jr. hit a home run and give Toronto the lead. - Bryann Aguilar, CP24.com digital journalist 8:56 p.m. – Guerrero Jr. sets franchise record With his home run in the third inning, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has set a new Blue Jays franchise record for all-time postseason home runs with seven.

They rallied in the ALCS after losing the first two games at home and a crushing game five in Seattle. But tonight, they face perhaps their greatest challenge. George Springer is out of the lineup after leaving last night’s game with right side discomfort.” “They are losing a player who has hit 23 career homers in the postseason on a night they are facing Shohei Ohtani. The odds are against them, but this is a team that never seems phased.” - Laura Sebben, CTVNewsToronto.ca digital journalist 8 p.m. - Play ball 17 hours later Shohei Ohtani is on the mound as Game 4 gets underway.

While he acknowledged that it’s a lot to shoulder as a rookie, Yesavage said having the support of the team helps him through outings like that. “It’s massive,” he said. “Being a rookie that’s 22 years old and having that weight put on your shoulders, it’s a big deal. But everyone in this clubhouse has my back. But I’m praying... it’s not a back-against-the-wall situation tomorrow.” - Laura Sebben, CTVNewsToronto.ca digital journalist 6:19 p.m. - How do pitchers recover after quick turnaround? Former New York Yankees pitcher Adam Ottavino tells MLB Now what Blue Jays and Dodgers relievers must do after an 18-inning game to get ready again. “I think it starts with being hydrated, trying to get as much sleep as you can last night. You show up today, you get a good breakfast, you move around,” Ottavino says. “Just try to take inventory—where am I at? And then, whether you can go out there and play a little catch and get redialed in, or whether you just have to kind of raw it. Keep it raw and just go out there and let it go in the game.” Ottavino adds that it’s important that players are honest with their managers about how their bodies are holding up following last night’s game. “But everybody this time of year is going to soldier up regardless. So, you really just take an inventory, and then you have to figure out what you can really give and give whatever that is.” - Bryann Aguilar, CP24.com digital journalist 6:05 p.m. - Jays announce starting lineup for Game 4 George Springer is officially not in the Jays starting lineup for Game 4 after leaving Game 3 with an undisclosed injury.

With Bichette DHing, Isiah Kiner-Falefa will take over at second base. - Laura Sebben, CTVNewsToronto.ca digital journalist 5:50 p.m. - Blue Jays fans at Dodger Stadium Two Blue Jays fans from Ottawa who watched Game 3 at Dodger Stadium described the Monday night atmosphere as “wild.” “It was back and forth, probably the best game I’ve ever been to,” Kiefer said who is at Dodger Stadium again for Game 4. His friend Greg agrees. “It was just amazing to experience it live. I don’t think there’s anything to compare. Probably the best sporting event I’ve ever been to. So just have that atmosphere and be here and watch the whole thing. You don’t even realize how long you’ve been there,” he said. Adam who is from Ajax also flew to Los Angeles to watch the team at Dodger Stadium. He is hopeful that Jays will “come out swinging” tonight. “I know the bats were a little dry yesterday,” he said. “But let’s see if things pan out today. They got to get to Otani early first and foremost. I think that since it went 18 innings, even though he was only batting, he did have that cramp in his leg at some point in the extra innings there, so we’ll see if it affects his performance on the mound today.” - Bryann Aguilar, CP24.com digital journalist 5:44 p.m. - Energy is high outside Dodger Stadium 5:35 p.m. - Schneider on pitching availability after the 18 inning game Schneider confirmed Trey Yesavage will get the Game 5 start tomorrow, and said everyone will be available out of the bullpen tonight except for Eric Lauer. “You kind of just read the situation,” Schneider told reporters. “You’re never expecting an 18-inning game, right? Postseason, you can kind of look at it historically, there’s a higher chance for some extra innings, but not 18, because of the no ghost runner and things like that. But I’m going to trust Shane as much as we can and give him every chance to really go out and execute.” - Laura Sebben, CTVNewsToronto.ca digital journalist 5:30 p.m. - Schneider on Bieber’s ‘professionalism’ Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Game 4 starter Shane Bieber has been a great add to their organization, describing him as a “complete pitcher.” Responding to a question about what’s impressed him the most about Bieber, Schneider said “his professionalism and how he prepares.” “He’s kind of a complete pitcher. He’s won some awards, he’s been in some big moments, he understands how the game works. He came down to me and Pete (Walker) in the 11th and said, ‘Let me know when you need me to get going.’” “So, he’s fit in extremely well here... This is why you acquire a guy like this and why we put him on this day. Not expecting an 18-inning game last night, but I think giving him the best shot to have a pretty good start.” - Laura Sebben, CTVNewsToronto.ca digital journalist 5:19 p.m. - IKF on George Springer Kiner-Falefa said while the team would love to have Springer in the lineup, they always “trust” the next man up and will move forward without him if they have to. “George has been incredible in his career in the postseason,” said Kiner-Falefa. “Probably a postseason Hall of Famer. So for him to go down, that hurt, just because we have known the type of moments that he’s capable of, so that definitely hurt.” “But Ty France steps in, and he’s an All Star. So as much as it hurts, we got a lot of depth and we’re going to rely on that this whole series. So as much as we would love to have George, we trust the next guy up.” - Laura Sebben, CTVNewsToronto.ca digital journalist 5:11 p.m. - The vibe in the Jays clubhouse today Isiah Kiner-Falefa said he’s going into tonight’s game after playing 18 innings in Game 3 by treating it like a Sunday day game. “I think you just treat it like a day game, 1 o’clock Sunday day game in the regular season, get in the work, just get the bodies going,” Kiner-Falefa told reporters. But, he said despite the “tough game” last night, that hasn’t affected the mood in the clubhouse. “Same vibe. Guys are playing cards, messing around already. They do a good job of keeping everything loose and, yeah, nothing really changes.” - Laura Sebben, CTVNewsToronto.ca digital journalist 5 p.m. - Roberts says Ohtani ‘feels good’ After last night’s marathon game, there has been some concern about how Shohei Ohtani will be feeling as he’s set to start on the mound for the Dodgers, but team manager Dave Roberts says they have no expectations for how deep they want him to go. “I think with Shohei, you know, he feels good today,” Roberts told reporters. “I think it’s one of those we’re just going to read and react. No expectations, just kind of see how he feels, how he looks, and then go from there. Obviously, last night was taxing on both clubs’ pens, but it’s kind of an all-hands-on-deck situation. You kind of figure out who is available and who feels good enough to pitch tonight.” - Laura Sebben, CTVNewsToronto.ca digital journalist 4:59 p.m. - Springer ‘hour to hour’ MLB.com reporter Keegan Matheson says John Schneider says George Springer is “hour to hour” after leaving Game 3 last night. Matheson says they’re still deciding if he will start or be on the bench. - Laura Sebben, CTVNewsToronto.ca digital journalist 4:54 p.m. - ‘I would’ve stayed all night if I had to’ Thousands of fans piled into the Rogers Centre on Monday night for an official watch party to cheer on the Blue Jays as they tried to battle the Dodgers for a 2-1 lead in the series. About 27,000 people piled into the stands on Monday night at the start of the game but only about 1,000 stayed on to watch its conclusion. “The atmosphere was great throughout the game, even as the game went into extra innings, the crowd was still very energetic,” Chi Chan said in an email. “Some of the crowd started to think out as the game continued, but from my (point of view), I’ve already stayed for so long that I couldn’t leave without seeing the game end. I would’ve stayed all night if I had to!” - Alex Arsenych, CTVNewsToronto.ca digital journalist 4:51 p.m. - Dodgers announce Game 4 lineup 4:45 p.m. - National anthem singers for Game 4 Billboard reports that singer-songwriter Tinashe will perform “The Star Spangled Banner” for Game 4, while Juno-winner Deborah Cox will sing “O Canada.” - Laura Sebben, CTVNewsToronto.ca digital journalist 4:25 p.m. - Snell ‘thankful’ for second chance against Jays lineup Blake Snell will take the mound for the Dodgers in Game 5 tomorrow, after previously pitching in the Blue Jays’ 11-4 Game 1 win. “I’m thankful for the first start and what I was able to learn and how much better I got from that,” Snell told reporters on Tuesday. “(I’m) beyond excited that I have another opportunity tomorrow to really display the kind of pitcher that I am and that I’m striving to be.” “I just pitched against them and didn’t execute, and now I have an opportunity to go execute and see how good I am and how much those five days in between got me locked in to be the best version of me.” - Laura Sebben, CTVNewsToronto.ca digital journalist 4:15 p.m. - One man tuned into the World Series game on an Air Canada flight from Los Angeles to Toronto While many baseball fans flocked to the Rogers Centre to watch the historically-lengthy Game 3 in the World Series, one man from Markham tuned into the game live from an Air Canada flight—and a flight out of Los Angeles, no less. Adrien Cheng, a 22-year-old from Markham, said he departed from LAX at around 4:10 p.m. local time, about an hour before the game started at Dodger Stadium. He said Air Canada’s in-flight entertainment systems had the option to watch some live channels, and saw they were streaming the World Series game. When he walked back from the bathroom to his seat, about 20 minutes into the game, Cheng said most people were watching. Though he was wearing noise-cancelling headphones, Cheng said he could still hear people erupt in cheers when Alejandro Kirk scored that three-run homer. As it was time to disembark, Cheng said everyone immediately tried to stream the game on their phones, their eyes glued to the screen as they refreshed stats. “I never seen an energy like that before,” he said. - Alex Arsenych, CTVNewsToronto.ca digital journalist 4 p.m. - How Bieber could attack Dodgers hitters “He wants the ball, wants the moment, believes in himself. Kinda expects to be great,” MLB Network’s Mark DeRosa says about Blue Jays Game 4 starting pitcher Shane Bieber. DeRosa says Bieber is “going to spin the baseball” at right-handed batters with his slider, which has used more this postseason. As for left-handed hitters, DeRosa says Bieber has been throwing a “nasty” changeup against them. “Is he going to attack Ohtani? Will he have a chance to attack Ohtani? Do you want Freddie Freeman or Max Muncy in a big spot? It’s going to be interesting,” DeRosa says. - Bryann Aguilar, CP24.com digital journalist 3:50 p.m. - Klein on being the last man in the bullpen in Game 3 Reliever Will Klein said coming out as the last man in the bullpen was “fun.” “As soon as (Edgardo) Henriquez went out there, I’m the last one,” Klein told reporters. “And he ran two great innings. That was sick. And you’re hoping we walk it off there, and if you don’t, I was like, all right, well, we’re not losing this game, and I was going to go out there until apparently Yamamoto was ready to go. Just really glad we didn’t have to see what happened there.” “You don’t get 18 innings of baseball with a ghost runner, so I had a lot more fun yesterday.” - Laura Sebben, CTVNewsToronto.ca digital journalist 3:47 p.m. - Dodgers reliever Sheehan on his transition to the bullpen Speaking to reporters ahead of Game 4, L.A. Dodgers reliever Emmet Sheehan said he’s been leaning on veteran players to aid him in the bullpen as he transitions from a starter to a reliever. “It definitely wasn’t the easiest at first,” Sheehan said. “I struggled a little bit. But I think just leaning on the other guys in the bullpen. I had Kersh (Clayton Kershaw) down there, and I had (Tyler) Glasnow down there at the start to try to work through it with, and then trying to learn from the older guys, the veterans in the bullpen that have helped me a lot.” - Laura Sebben, CTVNewsToronto.ca digital journalist 3:04 p.m. - Blue Jays bullpen ‘set up better’ MLB Central analyst and former Toronto Blue Jay Mark DeRosa said he believes the Blue Jays bullpen will fare better than the Dodgers in Game 4. “I think the Blue Jays, from a bullpen standpoint, are set up better than the Dodgers,” DeRosa said. “I mean, you go down the board... (Mason) Fluharty threw 14 pitches, Louis Varland, who obviously can pitch every day of the week... 20 pitches... I feel like they’re in a better position for John Schneider to kind of mix and match than where Dave Roberts is.” - Laura Sebben, CTVNewsToronto.ca digital journalist 1:47 p.m. - Barger’s rocket arm 12:57 p.m. - Maple Leafs will play Jays game on videoboard after their own game 12:30 p.m. - Sandy Koufax congratulates Will Klein According to ESPN’s Jeff Passan, Dodgers great Sandy Koufax visited the LA clubhouse after the game to applaud rookie Will Klein for his performance on the mound. “Into the Dodgers’ clubhouse strode Sandy Koufax, his eminence of Dodgers pitching, who, at 89 years old, looked no worse for the wear at 12:48 a.m. (PT) Koufax walked up to Klein, stuck out his hand, looked him in the eyes and said: ‘Nice going,’ Passan wrote.
