During the Blue Jays’ 11-4 win in Friday’s opener, the crowd broke into a chant of “We don’t need him!” A reference to Ohtani turning down the Blue Jays’ draft offer in the winter of 2023, when he joined the Dodgers instead.
Ohtani didn’t get a hit until the eighth inning on Saturday, but it was a big hit because it helped spark a Dodgers rally to extend the lead from 3-1 to 5-1.

Ohtani was seen celebrating after the hit.
The score was held, as Ohtani’s Japanese teammate Yoshinobu Yamamoto picked up the win, pitching a complete game for the second straight outing.
It was the first complete game in the World Series since Johnny Cueto in 2015 and the first time a pitcher had pitched a complete game in consecutive postseason games since Curt Schilling in 2001.
