Oct. 31 (UPI) -- Yoshinobu Yamamoto mixed cliff-diving curveballs with wickedly violent fastballs to dominate the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday in Game 6 of the World Series, staving off elimination for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The Dodgers' pitcher allowed five hits and one run to pace the 3-1 triumph in Toronto. Shortstop Mookie Betts, who went 3 for 23 (.130) through the first five games of the World Series, reached base twice and recorded a two-run single in Game 6. Catcher Will Smith logged an RBI double.
"I know it hasn't been great for me," Betts said on the Fox broadcast. "This year hasn't been great. I just want to be there to help the boys. I came up in a big spot. ... I just was able to find a way to lock in."
The Blue Jays will host the Dodgers in Game 7 on Saturday in Toronto.
