LOS ANGELES (AP) — Showtime the Dodgers opened their 41st home run, but Ernie Clement hit the decisive home run at the start of the ninth inning, and the Toronto Blue Jays, leaders of the American League, maintained a 5-4 lead over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday, avoiding elimination in the series.

Mason Flaherty secured his first career save, replacing the injured Jay Jeff Hoffman in the ninth inning with a filled base and one out. The rookie left the Dodgers with a full count, after which he received a groundout from Mookie Betts, which ended the game.

After that, as Vladimir Guerrero Jr. managed to equalize the score with a home run in the eighth inning, and Addison Barger hit a home run for Toronto against Blake Treinen in the eighth inning, Clement gave the first hit from Alex Verdugo (2-2) in the ninth inning in the left tribune.

Hoffman (7-4) allowed a run, having passed Freddy Freeman with a filled base in the eighth inning, and passed three of the first four Dodgers hitters in the ninth.

The Dodgers hit a home run at 400 feet, becoming the leader of the National League in home runs along with Kyle Schwarber from Philadelphia.

Freeman also hit a home run in the first inning.

The Dodgers had two runs and were intentionally walked twice.

The bullpen of the Dodgers again could not capitalize on a strong start from Tyler Glasnow, who allowed two runs in four innings, continuing his scoreless streak to 10 starts from March 31, despite having a 1.82 ERA after leaving the disabled list.

Key Moment

Guerrero and Barger hit home runs on pitches that were easy to hit for Treinen, while Clement hit a good low slider from Verdugo.

Key Statistics

The Dodgers, who became the main leader after the transition to the Dodgers last season, have already hit 23 home runs at the start of the game, including 11, which is the best indicator in MLB this season.
