The Los Angeles Dodgers bounced back to beat the Toronto Blue Jays 3-1 and set up a deciding seventh game in the World Series after tying the series at 3-3.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts shuffled his batting order after back-to-back home defeats, and it took them until the third inning at Toronto's Rogers Centre just to get a man on base, when Will Smith and Mookie Betts drove in runs to put them 3-0 ahead.
George Springer's sharp line drive reduced the deficit, but Dodgers starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto kept the hosts in check, giving up just that one run in six innings pitched.
Neither side was able to score a run after the third inning, and both sides stranded multiple baserunners as the Dodgers held on for victory.
Game seven takes place on Saturday evening, again at the Rogers Centre.
