During the Blue Jays’ 11-4 victory in Friday’s opener, the crowd erupted into a chant of “We don’t need him!” referencing Ohtani’s rejection of the Blue Jays’ draft offer in the winter of 2023, when he joined the Dodgers.

Ohtani didn’t get a hit until the eighth inning on Saturday, but it was important as he helped spark the Dodgers’ comeback to extend the lead from 3-1 to 5-1.

Ohtani was seen celebrating after the hit.

The score stood, as Ohtani’s Japanese teammate Yoshinobu Yamamoto earned the victory, pitching a complete game for the second straight outing. It was the first World Series complete game since Johnny Cueto in 2015. It is the first time a pitcher has pitched a complete game in consecutive postseason games since Curt Schilling in 2001.
