It’s LOUD in Toronto.

And Kevin Gausman is on the mound for the Blue Jays. Game 6 of the World Series is underway.

Will the Dodgers keep the World Series or alive? Or will Toronto win its first championship since 1993?

Gausman has allowed four runs on 10 hits with nine walks and 12 strikeouts over 18.0 innings. Gausman started Game 1 of the ALDS against the Yankees, Games 1 and 5 of the ALCS, appeared in relief in Game 7 against the Mariners, and started Game 2 of the World Series against Los Angeles.

In his most recent outing, he allowed 3 earned runs over 6.2 innings pitched against the Dodgers in Game 2.

Yamamoto has made four starts in the playoffs, allowing five runs on 17 hits with four walks and 26 strikeouts in 28.2 innings pitched.

In Game 2 against the Blue Jays, he allowed one run on four hits with no walks and eight strikeouts in his second complete game of the postseason.

Game 6 tonight is the first time the Dodgers are facing elimination in the postseason since Game 5 of the 2024 NLDS against the Padres. A win would push the series to a Game 7, the first time since a 2019 matchup between the Houston Astros and Washington Nationals.

Saturday's game would be the 45th Game 7 in World Series history.

Trey Yesavage became the youngest pitcher ever with at least 10 strikeouts in a World Series game in his dominant outing Wednesday in Los Angeles. He's also the first rookie pitcher with multiple 10-strikeout games in a single postseason and the first pitcher to record each of his first two career 10-strikeout games (regular season or Postseason) in the postseason.

The Japanese sensation has been incredible so far in the postseason. Will it continue on Friday and force a Game 7?
