Springer Dominates World Series Games 3-5
The World Series is currently heating up as the Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers prepare for Games 3 to 5 at Dodger Stadium. The series is tied at 1-1 after two matches held at Rogers Centre in Toronto.
Key Players for the Upcoming Games
For the pivotal Game 3, the Dodgers have chosen Tyler Glasnow as their starting pitcher. Glasnow, who has faced criticisms due to injuries this season, made only 18 appearances with a record of 4 wins and 3 losses alongside a 3.19 ERA. However, in the postseason, he has excelled, recording an impressive 0.68 ERA over 13.1 innings and striking out 18 batters.
Across the field, the Blue Jays will be relying on Max Scherzer, an experienced veteran. Scherzer finished the regular season with 5 wins and 5 losses, posting a 5.19 ERA. Despite this, he has a storied legacy with 221 career wins and three Cy Young Awards to his name. Recently, Scherzer pitched 5.2 innings against the Seattle Mariners, securing a victory.
George Springer Faces Crowd’s Jeers
Toronto outfielder George Springer is another focal point heading into these games. He is expected to face significant jeers from Dodgers fans at Dodger Stadium, following a history of contention between himself and the franchise.
- Springer’s controversial past includes performances in the 2017 World Series, where he played a key role in the Houston Astros’ championship win.
- The “sign-stealing scandal” later emerged, tarnishing his legacy and leading to criticism.
- This series marks his first return to face the Dodgers in the postseason since transferring to the Blue Jays.
Springer is familiar with the atmosphere of intense criticism, as he has faced similar situations this postseason against Seattle fans. He recently commented on the expected backlash, stating, “I will focus on what needs to be done.”
Upcoming Game Schedule
The World Series games 3 to 5 will take place from October 28 to 30 at Dodger Stadium. As the tension builds, all eyes will be on these key matchups, with a spotlight on both pitchers and George Springer’s performance amidst fan reactions.
