On Tuesday evening, the Los Angeles Dodgers dropped Game 4 of their World Series matchup with the Toronto Blue Jays in blowout fashion, evening the series at two games apiece ahead of a critical Game 5 on Wednesday evening. It was a quiet day for the Dodgers' bats on Tuesday night, especailly compared to the previous night, in which league MVP favorite Shohei Ohtani got on base an MLB record nine times, including five intentional walks.
Recently, Freddie Freeman got 100% honest on how important it is for the Dodgers not to be a one-man show in Game 5.
“Freddie Freeman says it’s imperative that the Dodgers entire lineup starts putting pressure on the Blue Jays’ pitching: ‘It can’t always be Shohei,'” reported MLB insider Bob Nightengale of USA Today on X, formerly Twitter.
The Dodgers were able to put just two runs on the board in the Game 3 loss. Meanwhile, Ohtani didn't have his best game in the pitching department, giving up six hits and four earned runs in the start.
A crucial Game 5 of the World Series
Game 5 of the World Series on Wednesday evening could very well decide who ends up winning the whole thing, with the winner being just one victory away from a championship.
Game 4's Blue Jays victory guaranteed that the series will be heading back to Toronto this weekend for at least a Game 6, but the Dodgers certainly would love to have the upper hand in that game, and give themselves two chances to close things out on the road.
