Shohei Ohtani answers World Series boos with home runs

In one of the longest and wildest games in World Series history, Shohei Ohtani once again showed that no stage is too big for him. The Japanese superstar was the undisputed protagonist of Game 3 between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Toronto Blue Jays. delivering a performance that now belongs to baseball’s elite history. According to the report published by Marca, Ohtani was booed by the Canadian crowd—but he responded the only way he knows how: with power, precision, and records.

By the seventh inning, Shohei Ohtani had already blasted two home runs and two doubles, including the game-tying shot that made it 5-5. His dominance at the plate forced the Blue Jays to intentionally walk him in the eighth, a move many saw as smart, though not without controversy. Even then, Ohtani tried to steal a base, proving his competitive fire has no off switch.

A long but thrilling game

The game stretched all the way to the 18th inning, when Freddie Freeman launched a solo homer to seal the win for the Dodgers. But the real impact came from Shohei Ohtani, who became the first player ever to reach base nine times in a World Series game. Two homers, two doubles, and five walks. A stat line that feels like it belongs in a video game.

Just one day after pitching, Shohei Ohtani was back influencing the game with his bat, and now he’s set to take the mound in Game 4. His versatility makes him a constant threat, and his performance places him as the clear frontrunner for World Series MVP. The last time he pitched, he also hit three home runs—another magical night from the Japanese phenom—and now he could steer the series in the Dodgers’ favor from the rubber.

Pressure builds

Toronto, which hasn’t won a World Series since 1993, faces a harsh reality: they don’t have a pitcher who can contain Shohei Ohtani. And if the Dodgers don’t get in their own way, it seems only they can stop themselves from winning it all.

Amid chants, pressure, and sky-high expectations, Shohei Ohtani delivered a masterpiece. And as the World Series rolls on, it’s clear that facing him isn’t just a gamble—it’s an open invitation to disaster.
