Dodgers stave off elimination to set up winner-take-all World Series Game 7

David Ortiz, Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez discussed George Springers return to the lineup and whether the Toronto Blue Jays can close out the World Series against the Dodgers in Game 6.

The defending World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers entered Friday night just one loss away from elimination.

But a bold move to bring in Sunday's projected starter, Tyler Glasnow, in the final frame of the ninth inning helped the Dodgers survive.

Glasnow entered Friday’s win-or-go-home game with a Toronto Blue Jays runner on second and another on third base. It took Glasnow just three pitches to get three outs to close the game and force a Game 7.

Two of those outs came after the Dodgers turned what appeared to be a potential game-tying hit into a dramatic, game-ending double play.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts decided to shake up the lineup again for Game 6.
