The Blue Jays and the Dodgers are tied at 1-1 in their World Series, after the Dodgers, and Pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto, put in a superb performance to level the series.

The World Series now leaves Canada and heads to Los Angeles for the next three games of the series. Games six and seven, if required, will be back in Toronto.
