Freddie Freeman homered leading off the bottom of the 18th inning, Shohei Ohtani went deep twice in another record-setting performance and the Los Angeles Dodgers outlasted the Toronto Blue Jays 6-5 on Monday night in a World Series classic.
The defending champion Dodgers took a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven matchup and still have a chance to win the title at home — something they haven't done since 1963.
"That could go down as one of the greatest games of all time," manager Dave Roberts said.
A fan at Monday night's game between the Pittsburgh Penguins and St. Louis Blues was taken to a hospital after falling from the upper concourse at PPG Paints Arena.
The incident happened early in the first period after Anthony Mantha's goal gave the Penguins a 2-0 lead.
Emergency personnel treated the fan, a man who was not identified, before taking him to Mercy Hospital, located a few blocks from the arena.
Minnesota Vikings quarterback Carson Wentz will undergo season-ending surgery on his left shoulder.
Wentz's left shoulder was in a brace during Thursday's loss to the Los Angeles Chargers as he played through the injury. However, a surgical procedure was reportedly deemed necessary after the game. The veteran passer, who was sacked five times and took eight hits, was in visible pain during the matchup.
Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Mookie Betts has won the Roberto Clemente Award for his humanitarian work.
Betts received the award before Game 3 of the World Series on Monday, joined by Commissioner Rob Manfred and Clemente's sons, Luis and Roberto.
"Life is about more than kind of what you do as far as work. It's about how you affect people," Betts said. "We live by that. So when we come across people, we always make 'em smile, do what you can to help them, and the Lord blesses you."
The Baltimore Orioles are sticking with youth in their managerial spot, hiring Cleveland assistant Craig Albernaz for that role.
Albernaz, who turns 43 on Thursday, was previously an associate manager with the Guardians. He was promoted to that role after serving as bench coach in 2024.
Albernaz takes over a Baltimore team that still has plenty of potential despite sliding to 75 wins this year and a last-place finish in the AL East. The Orioles fired manager Brandon Hyde in May, and Tony Mansolino ran the team on an interim basis the rest of the way.
It still feels like something of a fever dream that Max Scherzer will start Game 3 of the World Series for the Toronto Blue Jays.
The guy with the legendary intensity and the impressive playoff resume and the three Cy Young Awards and the different colored eyes? That Max Scherzer?
Of course, part of the reason it's hard to believe is that Scherzer was a peripheral figure for much of his lone season in Toronto. He was pulled from his first start in March with a thumb issue and didn't return until late June. The 41-year-old worked his way into something approaching his old All-Star form over the next couple of months, but then he seemed to run out of gas. He struggled all September and was left off Toronto's roster for the American League Division Series against the New York Yankees.
The NHL suspended Mitch Love for the remainder of the season after an investigation into allegations that arose while he was interviewing for multiple head-coaching jobs around the league.
The Washington Capitals simultaneously fired Love, who served as an assistant on coach Spencer Carbery's staff the past two years and was placed on leave last month pending the investigation. No details have been provided about the nature of the investigation.
"The organization is committed to maintaining the highest standards of conduct and accountability," the Capitals said in announcing Love was relieved of his duties effective immediately. He had not been around the team dating to development camp in July.
This kid is magic! Macklin Celebrini scored an unassisted goal at 3:47 of overtime to give the San Jose Sharks a 6-5 victory over the Minnesota Wild on Sunday.
Celebrini, who also had two assists, gathered a loose puck in the San Jose zone after Yaroslav Askarov made a save on Brock Faber, raced in alone and beat Jesper Wallstedt.
Shohei Ohtani commended Toronto Blue Jays fans for their creative trash talk in Game 1 of the World Series - and the Los Angeles Dodgers phenom wasn't the only one who enjoyed it.
"It was a really great chant, and my wife really appreciated it," the Japanese superstar said Sunday via interpreter Will Ireton.
With Toronto leading 11-4 in the ninth inning of Friday's World Series opener, a sold out crowd at the Rogers Center suddenly broke out into "We don't need you" chant as Ohtani stepped to the plate. The taunts were in reference to the dramatic December 2023 saga of Ohtani's free agency, when many around baseball erroneously believed he was on a plane bound for Toronto before he signed a record-breaking 10-year, $700-million deal with the Dodgers.
