The Dodgers' historic World Series Game 3 victory, by the numbers

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Dodgers outlasted the Toronto Blue Jays with a 6-5, 18-inning win in Game 3 of the World Series on Monday night, producing a lengthy list of records topped by Shohei Ohtani as they took a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven matchup.

Ohtani was the Dodgers' designated hitter a day before he is to pitch in Game 4 and had one of the most memorable games at the plate in World Series history.

Here are numbers to know from a Fall Classic showdown to remember:

Freeman, who hit the game-ending Grand Slam in last year’s Series opener against the New York Yankees’ Nestor Cortes, became the only player with two World Series walk-off home runs. Three other players have hit two in postseason play: Carlos Correa, David Ortiz and Bernie Williams.

Ohtani has a record number of multihomer games this postseason. He had a two-homer performance in the Wild Card Series opener against Cincinnati, then hit three homers in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series versus Milwaukee, when he also pitched six-plus scoreless innings with 10 strikeouts. Ohtani has eight homers this postseason, two shy of Randy Arozarena’s record for a single postseason set in 2020.

Ohtani’s two home runs and two doubles matched a record for extra-base hits in a World Series contest set in Game 5 in 1906 by Frank Isbell, who had four doubles for the Chicago White Sox in an 8-6 win over the Chicago Cubs.

Ohtani was intentionally walked four times, including three times with no runners on base. There had been only one previous World Series intentional walk with nobody on, to the St. Louis Cardinals’ Albert Pujols in Game 5 in 2011. Ohtani's four overall intentional walks were one shy of the record in any game since it became an official statistic in 1955. The Cubs’ Andre Dawson was intentionally walked five times by Cincinnati on May 22, 1990, during Chicago’s 2-1, 16-inning win.

Ohtani doubled in the first inning, homered in the third, hit an RBI double in the fifth and a tying solo homer in the seventh. He was intentionally walked in the ninth, 11th, 13th and 15th innings, then walked unintentionally on four pitches in the 17th. He tied the record shared by three people who reached that many times in regular-season games, according to the Elias Sports Bureau: Max Carey on July 7, 1922, Johnny Burnett on July 10, 1932, and Stan Hack on Aug. 9, 1942.

The Dodgers set a Series record by using 10 pitchers, breaking a mark shared by the 2005 Chicago White Sox in Game 3, the Dodgers in Game 2 in 2017 and the Dodgers and Red Sox in Game 3 in 2018. The postseason record of 11 was set by San Diego in Game 3 of the 2020 NLDS. The 44 overall players who appeared were two shy of the Series mark set by the Dodgers and Red Sox in Game 3 in 2018.

This game matched the longest in World Series history by innings, set at Dodger Stadium seven years and one day earlier, when Max Muncy homered against Nathan Eovaldi to give Los Angeles a 3-2 win over the Boston Red Sox. There also have been three 18-inning games in earlier rounds: Houston's 7-6 win over Atlanta in Game 4 of a 2005 NL Division Series, San Francisco's 2-1 victory over Washington in Game 2 of a 2014 NLDS and Houston's 1-0 win over Seattle that completed a three-game sweep in a 2022 ALDS.

Klein got the win with four scoreless innings. His 72 pitches doubled his previous big league career high, as did his four innings.

Dodgers pitchers threw 312 pitches and the Blue Jays accounted for 297.

MLB's relatively new pitch clock helped keep this marathon moving. When the Dodgers and Red Sox played 18 innings in 2018, the game lasted 7:20 and ended at 12:30 a.m.

KABUL, Afghanisan (AP) — Widespread flooding, landslides and lightning strikes triggered by heavy rain and storms across Afghanistan have left 77 people dead and 137 injured over the past 10 days, the country’s Disaster Management Authority said Saturday.

More rain has been forecast for the coming days throughout Afghanistan, and the authority warned the public to stay away from river banks and areas prone to flooding.

So far this year, dozens of people have died due to extreme weather in Afghanistan, an impoverished country that is highly vulnerable to extreme weather events. Earlier this year, heavy snowfall and flash floods left dozens of people dead across the country.

The recent toll includes 26 people killed over the past 48 hours, the disaster authority said. Overall, 793 homes have been completely destroyed and a further 2,673 have been damaged, while floods and landslides have destroyed 337 kilometers (about 210 miles) of roads, it said.

Businesses, agricultural land, water wells and irrigation canals have also been damaged, with more than 5,800 families affected overall, the authority said.

Several highways connecting the country’s capital to the provinces have also been damaged by floods and landslides, forcing travelers to take long, circuitous routes to reach Kabul, Public Works Ministry spokesman Ashraf Haqshinas said Saturday.

They include the Kabul to Jalalabad highway, which is the main route linking the capital to the Pakistani border and eastern Afghan provinces. A landslide and rockfalls, as well as flooding, shut the highway on Thursday morning, and Haqshinas said crews were working to re-open the road.

The Public Works Ministry warned travelers to be cautious when using roads in affected areas.

Flooding has also shut the Salang Pass, a high mountain pass in the Hindu Kush mountain range that connects Kabul to the country’s north, including the major cities of Kunduz and Mazar-e-Sharif.

Snow and heavy rain often trigger flash floods that kill scores, or even hundreds, of people at a time in Afghanistan. In 2024, more than 300 people died in springtime flash floods.
