Guerrero’s Homer, Bieber’s Composure Power Blue Jays Past Dodgers to Even World Series 2–2

The Toronto Blue Jays evened the 2025 World Series at two games apiece Tuesday night, defeating the Los Angeles Dodgers 6–2 at Dodger Stadium behind a composed outing from Shane Bieber and a thunderous home run from Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

After losing a grueling 18-inning Game 3, Toronto responded with resolve. Guerrero delivered the breakthrough in the third inning, hammering a two-run shot off Shohei Ohtani that turned a 1–0 deficit into a lead the Blue Jays never gave back. The blast — Guerrero’s fifth of the postseason — reignited a lineup that had been quiet since arriving in Los Angeles.

“I believe in this team, man,” Guerrero said. “This team is something special.”

Bieber kept the Dodgers off balance for 5 ⅓ innings, yielding just one run while the bullpen handled the rest. The decisive blow came in the seventh, when Bo Bichette and Davis Schneider set the table for Alejandro Kirk’s RBI double and a four-run outburst that broke the game open.

“There’s no choice,” Bieber said. “What, are you going to feel sorry for yourself? It’s the World Series, right? We’re down one game. So now we find ourselves even, with a chance to take the lead … Guys were tired, and we were able to do that and show up today.”

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts summed it up simply: “We just didn’t have an answer.”

Ohtani, who allowed four earned runs and struck out six across six innings, shouldered the loss but credited Toronto’s offensive plan. “We’re facing quality arms at this time of year against really good teams,” Ohtani said. “At the same time, we could do at least the bare minimum and put up some runs.”

Blue Jays infielder Ernie Clement said the team’s response spoke to its mindset. “I think this is a quote from Herb Brooks, but we are a team of uncommon men,” Clement said. “I think a normal team would’ve folded today, and we’re not normal. I think we’re the best team in baseball, and we got out of bed today with our hair on fire and ready to play.”

With the series now tied 2–2, Game 5 returns to Dodger Stadium tonight. The Blue Jays are expected to start veteran left-hander Blake Snell, while rookie right-hander Trey Yesavage will take the mound for Los Angeles as both teams fight to seize control of a World Series that has been as tight as it is unpredictable.
