If there was a team that looked like it had a hangover from Monday night’s 18-inning World Series absurdity, it was the victors.

Behind a complete performance on both offense and defense, the Toronto Blue Jays won a one-sided Game 4 6-2 on Tuesday to tie the Fall Classic against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The series is now guaranteed to go back to Toronto for Game 6 on Friday.

In the meantime, a pivotal Game 5 is scheduled for Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET at Dodger Stadium, with Game 1 starters Blake Snell and Trey Yesavage on track to take the mound again.

Freddie Freeman’s walk-off homer made it easy to forget the Dodgers offense languished for nearly 12 innings against an iffy Blue Jays bullpen on Monday. That continued Tuesday, with starting pitcher Shane Bieber and the survivors of Game 3’s bullpen carnage. The Dodgers failed to string hits together so much they had only two total at-bats with runners in scoring position.

Shohei Ohtani, who intimidated the Blue Jays into four intentional walks (arguably five) in Game 3, started making outs again.

Bieber had struggled a bit early, but ultimately turned in a start precisely the length the Blue Jays needed with what they had available in the bullpen. Mason Fluharty, Chris Bassitt and Louis Varland were three of only four relievers to throw 20 pitches or fewer on Tuesday, and that’s who took Toronto home.

Fluharty escaped the jam Bieber left when he exited his start, getting a flyout from Max Muncy and striking out Tommy Edman. Bassitt, making the first back-to-back appearance of his 11-year career, threw two scoreless innings. And Varland finished it off with a somewhat adventurous ninth inning.

There was no repeat performance for Ohtani’s last start on the mound, one of the greatest games in MLB history. This time, he was mortal, or at least mortal as you can be when you’re still a two-way player.

The Toronto lineup scored its run in two spurts. The first was the louder one, when Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit his first homer of the World Series to give the Blue Jays the lead.

The homer was Guerrero’s seventh of the postseason, making him the franchise’s all-time playoffs home run leader. Toronto was hoping to read something resembling that sentence when it gave him a $500 million extension going into this season.

The second spurt of runs was more productive. Daulton Varsho and Ernie Clement chased Ohtani in the seventh inning with back-to-back hits to open the frame, then the hits just kept coming against the Dodgers bullpen.

Anthony Banda allowed two runs to come in, but at least got two outs. Blake Treinen, basically the only non-gassed right-hander left in the Dodgers bullpen, was the one who allowed the game to get out of hand, allowing singles to Bo Bichette and Addison Barger on back-to-back pitches.

However Game 5 works out, the Blue Jays can still look forward to ending the series in Toronto. And even if the Dodgers take Game 5, well, this team knows a thing or two about overcoming a 3-2 deficit at home.
