Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani then hit the first World Series home run of his career in the seventh, but it was too little too late for the Dodgers. 

Ohtani was booed ahead of the game by Blue Jays fans. By the ninth inning, the Toronto crowd broke into a unified chant, shouting, “we don’t need him!”

The Dodgers will look to even up the series on Saturday night, and will send Yoshinobu Yamamoto to the mound against Toronto’s Kevin Gausman.
