Freddie Freeman (again) enters World Series lore with 18th inning home run to lift Dodgers over Blue Jays
LOS ANGELES — Freddie Freeman has done it again.
One year after hitting the first walk-off grand slam in World Series history, he came through again for the Dodgers with a hit for the ages.
Freeman’s solo home run in the 18th inning against the Toronto Blue Jays ended a game tied for the longest in World Series history, propelling Los Angeles to a 6-5 win and a 2-1 series lead.
“It’s one of the greatest World Series games of all time,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said.
Freeman played down the epic nature of his homer to seal a game that officially lasted six hours and 39 minutes.
“I was just trying to get on base against a tough lefty, sinkerballer,” Freeman said after the marathon Game 3. “I got it to a 3-2 count and put a good swing on it.”
