‘Monday, we take it back’: Toronto Blue Jays fans still hopeful after Game 2
Global News
The Los Angeles Dodgers's Yoshinobu Yamamoto helped lead the team to a Game 2 victory, but Toronto Blue Jays fans are still hopeful heading into Game 3 of the World Series.
Even after a disappointing loss against the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 2, Toronto Blue Jays fans are staying positive.
“Nobody said it was going to be easy,” said X user @Mini_JamalAdams on Sunday morning. “Dodgers are the best team we’ve faced this post season, but we’re also the best team the Dodgers have faced this post season.”
The Jays fell to the Dodgers at home in Game 2 on Saturday night, with starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto helping lead Los Angeles to its 5-1 win.
Jays’ manager John Schneider commended the work of the Dodgers’ pitcher, saying Yamamoto was “that good” and it “started that way,” but he’s still ready for the next game.
“You never know when someone’s going to have it. Every game is different, so you never really discount anything,” he said. “Who knows what’s going to happen in Game 3, you know what I mean. It’s baseball and you gotta kind of react in real time.”
Yamamoto struck out eight Toronto batters and threw 105 pitches.
The difference between Game 1 and Game 2 holds true to Schneider’s words, going from an 11-4 blowout for the Jays to a 5-1 win for the Dodgers. Even up to about the seventh inning, Game 2 looked like it could’ve gone into extra innings as both teams struggled to get a run.
The Dodgers started strong, getting their first run in the very first inning, but the Jays tied it up in the third with George Springer crossing home with help from Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hitting a long single and Alejandro Kirk hitting a sacrifice fly.
