The Blue Jays are looking for their third World Series title tonight, while the Dodgers are hoping to force a Game 7.
The Dodgers lead 3-1 in the sixth inning. Follow along for updates and analysis from The Athletic’s team of MLB reporters in Game 6.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. got it off the end of the bat and still one-hops the wall. Unreal strength.

Solid yards after contact by the fan on the field, but unimpressed by the escapability.
▶️ Vladimir Guerrero Jr. continues his stellar postseason. He hits a curveball to deep left field that goes off the wall. Guerrero Jr. runs to second base for the double. It's now two out, runner on second, for Bo Bichette. | Bottom 6th Dodgers 3, Blue Jays 1
▶️ Facing a full count, Nathan Lukes flies out to Tommy Edman in center field for the second out of the inning. Here comes Vladimir Guerrero Jr., 0-for-2 tonight, looking to get his first hit. | Bottom 6th Dodgers 3, Blue Jays 1
He was not moving well – probably because he had to jump down that far! Huge boos as he was escorted off.
The fan dropped from above the left-center fence — a pretty significant drop. He made it a roughly a third of the way through left-center field and attempted to wave an American Flag, which he dropped. He was then flattened by security and escorted off the field.

The Fox broadcast showed only Dave Roberts and players while a fan was running on the field. "Glass half-full," Joe Davis said, "a chance to get a quick word from Capital One."
A fan just ran on the field. As he went to take out what appeared to be an American flag, he was decked by security.
▶️ George Springer grounds out to Mookie Betts to start the bottom of the sixth. One out for Nathan Lukes who is 0-for-2 tonight. | Bottom 6th Dodgers 3, Blue Jays 1
Kevin Gausman is at 93 pitches. Left, right, switch hitters due up. Will he get one more inning?
▶️ Kevin Gausman has retired 10 consecutive batters. Another three up, three down inning for the Blue Jays ace, who has thrown at least 5 2/3 innings in every start this postseason. To the bottom of the sixth as Yoshinobu Yamamoto begins to face the Blue Jays lineup a third time with the top of the order. | Bottom 6th Dodgers 3, Blue Jays 1

▶️ Amazing play from Bo Bichette, who runs and throws to get Mookie Betts out at first. Bichette isn’t used to playing second base and is dealing with a knee injury, but he made that play look easy. Two outs for Teoscar Hernandez. | Top 6th Dodgers 3, Blue Jays 1
▶️ Freddie Freeman pops up to Andres Gimenez at shortstop for the first out of the inning. Next up is Mookie Betts, who had a critical two-run single his last time up. | Top 6th Dodgers 3, Blue Jays 1
Yoshinobu Yamamoto is just so steady. Looks the exact same now as he did in the first inning.
This, from Mookie Betts’ RBI single in the third inning: Clearly, Shohei Ohtani’s wife, Mamiko (a former professional basketball player) showed him how to box out.
"Mookie Betts makes an error," Joe Davis said on the TV broadcast before that play was ruled a base hit.
For what it's worth, John Smoltz said he didn't think Betts could have make the throw to first.
I think I would have scored it an error.

Another "base hit" from this official scorer…
▶️ Another playoff hit for Ernie Clement. The ball trickles by Mookie Betts who can't come up with it to get the out. But on the very next pitch, Andres Gimenez flies out to center field, ending the inning. To the sixth inning we go. The Dodgers have a two-run lead. Louis Varland was shown warming up in the bullpen. | Top 6th Dodgers 3, Blue Jays 1
This is just unfair from Yamamoto.
