World Series Game 6’s ninth inning was complete chaos — from a bizarre wedge ball to final double play
NY Post
This year’s World Series will have a Game 7 — but fans might be talking about the ninth inning of Game 6 for a long, long time.
The Dodgers held on for a 3-1 win over the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre on Friday night, but it was how they staved off elimination that made this game all the more exciting.
With a runner on first against reliever Roki Sasaki in the bottom of the ninth, Toronto’s Addison Barger smacked an extra-base hit into the left-center field gap before the ball became lodged at the bottom of the wall.
Dodgers center fielder Justin Dean and left fielder Enrique Hernandez immediately held up their arms to signal to the umpires that the play should be ruled a dead ball and prevent the baserunners from scoring.
But before everything was sorted out, Blue Jays pinch-runner Myles Straw kept on running on the way home, which would’ve cut Toronto’s deficit to 3-2.
However, he was sent back to third on what was called — and confirmed — to be a ground-rule double.

SAN DIEGO — As you may have seen elsewhere in this newspaper (and also if you haven’t deleted me yet from your social media), I have a book coming out Tuesday called “The Bosses of The Bronx.” Much of it details the 37 years’ worth of antics, winning, losing, winning again and overall mania of George Steinbrenner’s time with the Yankees.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
