Both pitchers were fantastic – Yamamoto was just a bit better than Gausman, who was nearly perfect outside of that Dodger third inning.
Yamamoto

Gausman
6IP 3H 3R 3ER 2BB 8K 0HR
Tremendous work by both pitchers in a huge spot.

Yamamoto is out! Credit that last inning for tiring out Yamamoto. So now Toronto has a crack at the dubious Dodger bullpen to try and use those last nine outs to win a World Series.
Justin Wrobleski has two quick outs! The first comes on a stellar bare handed grab by the second baseman Rojas. Then Barger strikes out!
Two down for Clement!
And he doubles! The tying run comes to the plate in the form of Gimenez and Mark Prior heads to the mound to speak to Wrobleski!

Barger watches a fastball fly by. And Yamamoto is just impossible to figure out. Two down.
Clement has an idea – he knocks one into the hole at short. Betts can’t handle it, and that’s a two out hit.
But then Gimenez skies to center.
Inning over. Yamamoto has thrown 75 pitches through five. Too efficient for Toronto.
