The Dodgers and Blue Jays battled deep into the night while creating an 18-inning masterpiece that was eventually decided by Freddie Freeman's second walk-off World Series winner in as many years. It tied the previous record for longest World Series game and served as a perfect showcase of what the sport has to offer, including perhaps the greatest player to ever put on a uniform in Shohei Ohtani.
Teams that have won Game 3 to take a 2-1 series lead have gone on to capture the Fall Classic 68.9% of the time and considering the emotional and physical toll Monday night's contest exacted, it's hard to overstate just how important the win could be for Los Angeles. And how difficult it may be for Toronto to bounce back.
