Freddie Freeman homered leading off the bottom of the 18th inning, Shohei Ohtani went deep twice in another record-setting performance and the Dodgers outlasted the Blue Jays 6-5 in Game 3 on Monday night to win a World Series classic.
Longtime Seattle Mariners broadcaster Rick Rizzs delivered a memorable call of the go-ahead grand slam by Eugenio Suárez in Game 5 of the ALCS.
