Blue Jays’ John Schneider reveals Max Scherzer ‘killed somebody’ stare after Game 6
Max Scherzer will have a baseball in their hands when Game 7 of the World Series begins on Saturday night. The 41-year-old right-hander will carry the hopes Toronto Blue Jays and the nations of Canada as they host the Los Angeles Dodgers in the final game of the Fall Classic.
The 41-year-old Scherzer has been known for his intensity throughout his career and is emotionally ready for the task. Blue Jays manager John Schneider he saw the look in Scherzer’s eyes as he walked past him in the locker room Saturday night, and he knew his starting pitcher was focused on the job at hand.
“I walked past him last night and he looked like he was ready to kill someone,” Schneider saidaccording to MLB insider Bob Nightengale.
The Blue Jays they gained a foothold in the World Series when they won Games 4 and 5 in Los Angeles. They were poised to clinch the championship in Game 6 — or at least tie the score — when they had runners on second and third with no outs in the bottom of the ninth. However, the Dodgers held onto their 3-1 lead when Tyler Glasnow got Ernie Clement to hit an infield popup and Quique Hernandez caught Andres Gimenez’s fly ball and turned it into a game-ending double play.
The Blue Jays will face off Shohei Ohtani in the decisive match
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts will send superstar Shohei Ohtani into the game in Game 7. Roberts is hoping he can get a few strong innings — at least two, probably no more than four — before turning the game over to his bullpen.
The Dodgers used a three-run rally in the third inning to score all of their runs in Game 6. After catcher Will Smith drove in the first run of the game, a slumping Mookie Betts contributed a two-run single to give the Dodgers a 3-0 lead.
The Blue Jays were paced by Dodgers pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto. He limited the Blue Jays to five hits and one run. The Dodgers closed out the final three innings, forcing a seventh.
