Blue Jays slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr was born in Canada while his father Vladimir senior was playing for the now-defunct Montreal Expos in MLB

The Toronto Blue Jays have tied the best-of-seven World Series at 2-2 after a thumping 6-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers in game four.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr's early two-run homer and a glut of runs in the seventh inning helped Major League Baseball's only Canadian side come from behind at Dodger Stadium.

It also ensures the series will return to Toronto for a sixth game, and potentially a deciding seventh.

After Monday's 18-innings epic drained the energy of both teams' bullpens, the Dodgers and Blue Jays were banking on long outings from their starting pitchers to give their relief corps some respite.
