Chaos Reigned in Game 6 of the World Series - A Wild Finish to a Thrilling Contest.
In a nail-biting ninth inning that defied logic and sanity, the Los Angeles Dodgers held off elimination by the Toronto Blue Jays with a thrilling 3-1 win in Game 6 of the World Series. The drama began when Blue Jays pinch-runner Myles Straw continued to round bases despite being called out on a ground-rule double, narrowly preventing Toronto from narrowing the gap to 3-2.
However, the Dodgers' manager Dave Roberts made a bold move by pulling reliever Roki Sasaki and replacing him with Tyler Glasnow in what was a rare relief appearance for the right-handed starter. The gamble paid off when Glasnow got Ernie Clement to pop out weakly on one pitch, setting up the next play.
That's when Enrique Hernandez, playing shallow in left field, made an incredible catch that would become the talk of the game. With Addison Barger hitting a liner down the line, Hernandez drifted too far off second base and couldn't cut it off. But Hernandez quickly recovered and threw to Miguel Rojas at second base, who completed a rare 7-4 double play that sealed the win for the Dodgers.
"It was like he hit it over my head," Hernandez admitted in an interview after the game. "I fell like his pop is more to the pull side... Somehow, I was able to hear the bat broke, even with that crowd." Barger himself said he got a bad read on the play and thought the ball wouldn't travel as far as it did.
The improbable catch will be remembered for ages, and the Dodgers' victory sends the World Series to Game 7. The Blue Jays will have to regroup and find a way to silence Hernandez's heroics if they hope to make an unlikely comeback.

... like, the ball literally flew over his head and he still managed to snag it, I mean what are the chances? 
And then you got Barger getting a bad read on it too, so that's even more impressive. The Dodgers are definitely in the driver's seat now, but I think the Blue Jays can still make a comeback if they get their act together 
... Game 7 is gonna be intense! 
Like, what a catch! He's out there, drifting off base, and just snags the ball and throws out Miguel Rojas at second base. I'm talking insane, guys! The Dodgers' manager must've been thinking like "what are you doing?!" but it totally paid off in the end. 
mind blown. i mean, he's already having a solid series but this is on another level. i love how the dodgers were able to pull off that crazy relief move too - it's like they knew exactly what they were doing 
. and bravo to those blue jays for not giving up though... they gave it their all until the very end. now we gotta wait till game 7 to see if they can mount a comeback 
. gotta say, this world series is one for the books 
!
I mean what can u say? Enrique Hernandez just made one of the craziest catches in world series history 
i'm still on the edge of my seat thinking about it lol. did u see it live 
or wud u have to watch it now? 
. And then they pull Sasaki for Glasnow in that 9th inning - what were they thinking?! 
Did Roberts know something we don't? 
! I mean, he literally fell over like his swing was gonna be a ground ball, but somehow he hears the crack of the bat and turns it into a 7-4 double play 
. Bring on Game 7 and let's see if the Blue Jays can mount an epic comeback 
! I was watching with my mates and we were all screaming at the TV when he made that incredible snag 
. And can you believe the Blue Jays thought they could just ignore the out on the runner? Talk about a rookie mistake 
. The Dodgers' win is insane, and now we get Game 7! This series is going to be lit 
. Ugh, my brain is still trying to process all of this 
his catch was insane and i'm still reeling from it!!! 
! I was on the edge of my seat when Enrique Hernandez made that insane catch 
! That guy is like a superhero out there, saving the day with his incredible reflexes and arm strength 
. The Dodgers played smart baseball and capitalized on the Blue Jays' mistakes #DodgersWin #Game7Bound #WorldSeriesChaos 
. And the way he recovered from falling off base and still managed to make that incredible throw... 
.
. Anyway, I'm beyond stoked for the Dodgers to take this one and send it to Game 7 
! The energy in LA must be electric right now 
The Dodgers really needed that win and now they're just one game away from the title... let's see if the Blue Jays can mount a comeback, it'll be fun to watch!
