Los Angeles Dodgers slugger Freddie Freeman hit a walk-off home run and Shohei Ohtani did things no fan has ever seen before in Game 3 of the World Series. A sleeping giant finally woke up late Monday night on the West Coast and early Tuesday morning on the East Coast.
Freddie Freeman came to plate in the bottom of the 18th inning and hit a solo home run to give the Los Angeles Dodgers a World Series Game 3 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays, 6-5. He became the first player in MLB Postseason history to hit multiple walk-off home runs in the World Series. He did it in Game 1 last year against the New York Yankees.

The marathon could have been ended at any point between the 10th and 18th innings. The Dodgers had a great chance in the bottom of the 13th. Freeman came up to bat with the bases loaded and hit the ball as far as he could hit it before it was tracked down by a Blue Jays outfielder.
Toronto made a couple of risky decisions on the basepaths that led to outs. It was worth it at the time to try to end the game, but defensive plays from Tommy Edman and Teoscar Hernandez were able to shut down any hopes of a Blue Jays victory.
The game may not have even sniffed extra innings without the game from Shohei Ohtani.
Ohtani hit two home runs in a 4-for-4 night for the Dodgers. He reached base safely nine times, setting a World Series record. Ohtani is set to pitch in Game 4 on Tuesday night – less than 24 hours from when Freeman hit the home run.
