The Toronto Blue Jays toppled the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-2 in Game 4 of the World Series on Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium.

It was a great character win for Toronto, who survived the gut-punch 18-inning loss in Game 3 to even up the series at two games apiece.

They are now just two wins away from their first World Series title since 1993. 

Shane Bieber earned the win, going 5.1 innings and striking out three, while a group of three relievers helped shut the door on the Dodgers offense. 

With regards to their own offense, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. helped jumpstart the scoring with a two-run home run off Shohei Ohtani in the third inning. He went 2-for-4 on the day and is now hitting .419 in the playoffs.

According to Sarah Langs of MLB.com, he's also moving up a prestigious list in postseason history.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s 50 total bases are the most in a 15-game span in a single postseason

That’s also tied for 2nd-most in a postseason overall, behind:

2020 Randy Arozarena: 64 (20g)

Tied with:

2020 Corey Seager: 50 (18g)

2011 David Freese: 50 (18g)

Guerrero's numbers are even more impressive when you consider that the Blue Jays had a first-round bye in these playoffs, and he missed out on chances to play at least two more games in the wild card round.

The face of the franchise

Guerrero signed a $500 million contract extension earlier this season and is locked in through 2039, ensuring that he'll become one of the most important players in franchise history.

Still just 26 years old, he's already a five-time All-Star, a two-time Silver Slugger and a Gold Glover. He's up for both of those awards again this season and has a real chance to add to his hardware collection.

His seven home runs this postseason are already the most of any Blue Jays player in postseason history, passing Joe Carter and Jose Bautista (6).

Up next

The two teams will play again on Wednesday night in a crucial Game 5. It's a rematch of Game 1, which was won by Toronto. Rookie right-hander Trey Yesavage will take the ball for the Jays while two-time Cy Young winner Blake Snell pitches for the Dodgers.

First pitch is 8:00 p.m. ET.
