LOS ANGELES (AP) — Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit a two-run homer off Shohei Ohtani, Shane Bieber pitched four-hit ball into the sixth inning, and the Toronto Blue Jays shook off their epic 18-inning loss to even the World Series with a 6-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 4. Ohtani redefined the concept of short rest by taking the mound just more than 17 hours after he reached base nine times in Game 3, but he gave up four runs and six hits while pitching into the seventh. The Blue Jays reclaimed homefield advantage and guaranteed the World Series trophy will be won at Rogers Centre in Toronto.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Freddie Freeman homered leading off the bottom of the 18th inning, Shohei Ohtani went deep twice in another record-setting performance and the Los Angeles Dodgers outlasted the Toronto Blue Jays 6-5 in a World Series classic. The defending champion Dodgers took a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven matchup and still have a chance to win the title at home — something they haven’t done since 1963. Freeman connected off left-hander Brendon Little, sending a 406-foot drive to straightaway center field to finally end a game that lasted 6 hours, 39 minutes, and matched the longest by innings in postseason history.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Jordan Love passed for 360 yards and three touchdowns and the Green Bay Packers beat Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers 35-25. Love, who took over for Aaron Rodgers as the Packers’ quarterback in 2023, was nearly flawless in the second half. Love completed his first 16 passes after the break, including two for touchdowns as Green Bay erased a nine-point deficit. Rodgers, who won four MVPs and a Super Bowl in 18 years with the Packers, threw for 219 yards and two scores in his first game against his former club. Green Bay improved to 5-1-1. Pittsburgh is now 4-3.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Aaron Rodgers was solid but not spectacular in his first-ever game against the Green Bay Packers. The Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback passed for 219 yards and two touchdowns in a 35-25 loss to the team he won four MVPs and a Super Bowl with earlier in his career. Rodgers says he was happy to see some old friends from Green Bay before the game but once the ball was kicked off, it was all business. Rodgers completed 24 of 36 passes but was outplayed by his former pupil Jordan Love, who threw for 360 yards and three scores.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — LSU has fired coach Brian Kelly during the fourth season of a 10-year contract worth about $100 million. The move announced by athletic director Scott Woodward on Sunday night comes on the heels of a 49-25 loss to No. 3 Texas A&M in Tiger Stadium a night earlier. That was the Tigers’ second straight loss and third in four games. Kelly was hired away from Notre Dame following the 2021 season. He has gone 34-14 with the Tigers but LSU has not qualified for the College Football Playoff during his first three seasons and is virtually eliminated from contention this season. Woodward says the financial terms of Kelly’s separation for LSU are still being negotiated.
