The Toronto Blue Jays intentionally walked Shohei Ohtani four times today. After the game, Blue Jays manager Schneider stated: " We had to find ways to prevent him from getting at the ball." Regarding Dominguez giving up the game-tying solo homer to Ohtani in the bottom of the seventh, Schneider explained, "He's a pitcher I trust. We were trying to get him to throw the outside corner, which can be tough for a pitcher sometimes." When asked if they would intentionally walk Ohtani again, he replied, "Yes. But with Betts and Freeman coming up next, it's a tough call."

Schneider concluded by emphasizing that the Dodgers hadn't won the World Series tonight—they had merely won one game.
