The Dodgers kept their heads and keep their season alive to force a Game 7
A tumble from their manager. A plane delay. A wedge play. And one of the craziest finishes youโll ever see.

As the Dodgersโ relievers put forth a heroic Game 3 effort, they honored Alex Vesia
Dodgers relievers all had the No. 51 stitched on the side of their caps in honor of Vesia, who is dealing with a โdeeply personal matter."
The Dodgers used a World Series-record 10 pitchers last night, and the 9 relievers who combined to allow one run over 13 1/3 innings made sure to honor a pitcher who couldn't be there: Alex Vesia.
โThe Vesia situation is playing on our hearts recently." www.nytimes.com/athletic/675...

Shohei Ohtani's historic, draining performance begs question before Game 4 start: What's next?
Shohei Ohtani did it all until the Toronto Blue Jays refused to give him the chance. He reached nine times and expended himself to the point of cramping.
