Blue Jays, Dodgers' Game 3 World Series classic by the numbers

The Toronto Blue Jays fell just short on Monday night, losing 6-5 in 18 innings to the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 3 of the World Series. The Dodgers took a 2-1 series lead in a game that saw several eye-popping numbers produced.

Here are some numbers to know from a showdown to remember:

18: The number of innings the game lasted — before Freddie Freeman hit a walk-off home run to end — it is tied for the most in World Series history. It matched the record set seven years ago when the Dodgers defeated the Boston Red Sox in Game 3 in 2018.

6 hours 39 minutes: Monday's game was the second longest in World Series history, behind that Dodgers win over Boston seven years ago when Max Muncy hit the walk-off home run to end the game after seven hours 20 minutes.

27,000:Rogers Centre opened its doors to more than 27,000 fans for a Game 3 watch party. The City of Toronto is also holding free viewing parties at Nathan Phillips Square, which started Monday and will continue for Tuesday's Game 4 and Wednesday's Game 5 in L.A.

2: Freeman became the first player to ever hit two World Series walk-off home runs Monday night. Freeman hit a walk-off grand slam in last season's World Series opener against the New York Yankees. He is tied for the most in post-season history, with David Ortiz, Carlos Correa and Bernie Williams.

3: Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani became the first player ever to have three multi-home run games in a single post-season with his two in the victory. He also had a two-homer showing against Cincinnati in the wild-card round and a three-homer game to help L.A. sweep Milwaukee in the National League Championship Series. Ohtani, who has eight home runs, is closing in on Randy Arozarena's MLB record of 10 homers in one
