Los Angeles, October 29, 2025 — The Toronto Blue Jays bounced back in style at Dodger Stadium, defeating the Los Angeles Dodgers 6–2 in Game 4 of the 2025 MLB World Series, tying the best-of-seven series at 2–2. A powerful two-run homer from Vladimir Guerrero Jr and a composed pitching performance by Shane Bieber lifted Toronto to a crucial road win after a heartbreaking 18-inning loss in Game 3.

Guerrero Jr Sparks Toronto’s Offense

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. provided the defining moment of the night when he crushed a two-run home run to left-center in the third inning off Shohei Ohtani, giving Toronto a 2–1 lead. It was Guerrero’s first home run of the World Series and seventh of the postseason, reigniting the Blue Jays’ offense at a pivotal moment.

“I was just looking for something to drive,” Guerrero said postgame. “I knew it was going to be a tough battle with Ohtani, but I stayed patient and got a pitch I could handle.”

Bieber Outduels Ohtani

Toronto starter Shane Bieber (2–0) delivered a composed performance, allowing one run on four hits over 5 1/3 innings, with three strikeouts and three walks. He effectively limited the Dodgers’ dangerous lineup and handed the ball to Toronto’s bullpen with a lead intact.

Ohtani (2–1), meanwhile, struggled in his first career World Series start, surrendering four runs on six hits in six-plus innings. Despite striking out six, he appeared less dominant than in previous outings, both on the mound and at the plate, going 0-for-3 with a walk and two strikeouts.

Ohtani’s streak of 11 consecutive plate appearances reaching base—a World Series record—came to an end when Bieber struck him out in the third inning.

Blue Jays Explode in the Seventh Inning

Toronto’s offense came alive again in the seventh inning, erupting for four runs to put the game out of reach. Andres Gimenez, Bo Bichette, and Addison Barger all delivered RBI singles, while Ty France added a run-scoring groundout. The rally extended Toronto’s lead to 6–1, silencing the Dodger Stadium crowd.

The Dodgers managed a late consolation run in the ninth on a Tommy Edman groundout, but it wasn’t enough to close the gap.

Dodgers’ Offensive Drought Continues

After their marathon Game 3 win, the Dodgers’ bats have cooled off dramatically. They’ve scored only three runs in their last 20 innings, a worrying trend heading into Game 5. Despite early promise from Enrique Hernández, who gave LA a 1–0 lead with a sacrifice fly in the second, the lineup failed to produce clutch hits against Bieber and the Toronto bullpen.

What’s Next: Pivotal Game 5

The World Series resumes Wednesday night at Dodger Stadium with Game 5, before the series shifts back to Toronto for at least Game 6. Both teams will be fighting to take a 3–2 advantage heading into the decisive weekend matchups at Rogers Centre.

Toronto remains without George Springer, who missed Game 4 due to a right-side injury sustained in Game 3. His status for Game 5 remains uncertain.
