After a Kiké Hernández sacrifice fly gave the Dodgers an early lead, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit a two-run homer in the third inning to put the Blue Jays in front. Toronto added another four runs in the seventh after chasing Shohei Ohtani, who was making the first World Series start of his career.

What is magic if not this: a bat and a ball and some age-old rules, once again casting their spell on some late October night, entrancing entire countries long past their bedtimes, hypnotizing grown men as earnestly as the children who idolize them — leaving everyone certain they will remember these 18 innings forever?

Shohei Ohtani homered twice and tied a 119-year-old major league record with four extra-base hits in Game 3 of the World Series, putting on yet another historic postseason show at Dodger Stadium.

Freddie Freeman hit another historic walk-off home run in the World Series on Monday, leading the defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers to a 6-5 victory in 18 innings (!) over the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 3.
