Kevin Gausman pitched well for the Blue Jays in Game 2 but the Dodgers got to the veteran starter in the seventh inning.

This is part of what makes Gausman great, though. He’s earned his Game 2 start in the World Series, and would have fit just fine in Game 1, too, but the Blue Jays wanted to give the veteran an extra day of rest while keeping rookie sensation Trey Yesavage on schedule.

The Los Angeles Dodgers even the 2025 World Series at 1-1 with a 5-1 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays in Saturday's Game 2.  For much of the night, it was a classic pitchers' duel between the two starters -- Kevin Gausman for the host Blue Jays and Yoshinobu Yamamoto for the Dodgers.

Shohei Ohtani explains to FOX Sports' Kevin Burkhardt what irked him about that incredible two-way performance.

Standout rookie starter Trey Yesavage didn’t have his best stuff but limited the Los Angeles Dodgers to two runs over four innings for the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 1 of the World Series

Shohei Ohtani followed his two-way show for the ages with a homer in the Dodgers’ World Series opener, but he also grounded out with the bases loaded in Los Angeles’ 11-4 loss Friday night to the Toronto Blue Jays.
