The Blue Jays, who last year finished in last place, are looking for their first series title since 1993.

For NPR News, I'm Steve Futterman at the World Series in Toronto.

It'll be a seventh and deciding game as the L.A.

Dodgers hold on to beat the Toronto Blue Jays 3-1 in Game 6 to even the series at three games apiece.

L.A.

scored three runs in the third, the key blow, a two-run single by Mookie Betts.

Toronto scored its only run in the bottom of the third.

After that, neither team could score.

Toronto did threaten in the bottom of the ninth, putting runners on second and third with nobody out but could not score.

So the Dodgers win to force a game seven to decide the World Series.

For NPR News, I'm Steve Fetterman at the World Series in Toronto.

When the series began a week ago tonight, the Dodgers were the clear favorites.

Now they find themselves in a do-or-die situation.

They must win game six to stay alive.

While Toronto has to win just one of the next two games, L.A.

needs to win both.

Dodger manager Dave Roberts says his hitters are the big concern.

In the last two games, Los Angeles, with its powerhouse lineup featuring Shohei Otani, has scored a total of just three runs.

Tonight, L.A.

will be going with its most effective pitcher this postseason, Yoshi Yamamoto.
