Tonight is Game 3 of the World Series. Here's what you need to know
Topline:
The Dodgers will play the Toronto Blue Jays Monday night in Game 3 of the World Series. It's L.A.'s first home game in the series, and first pitch is at 5 p.m.
Where do things stand? The series is tied 1-1 after two games in Toronto. Now, the Dodgers have three games at home with a chance to win the best-of-seven series at Chavez Ravine.
Who is pitching? Tyler Glasnow is the starting pitcher tonight for the Dodgers. He follows Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who pitched all of Game 2 — a rare feat.
How to get there: If you're lucky enough to have tickets for the game, you can catch a free ride on Metro's Dodger Express Bus from Union Station in downtown or the multiple locations in the South Bay, including the Harbor Gateway Transit Center in Gardena. Plan ahead, the express runs every 10 minutes and starts 2.5 hours before game time.
Didn't get a ticket? The game will be broadcasted live on Fox, channel 11.
History in the making: The Dodgers won the World Series last year, making them the defending champions. If they clinch the championship this year, it will be the first time a team pulled off a consecutive win since the New York Yankees won three in a row from 1998-2000.
Where to eat: If you're looking to catch a meal before or after the game, LAist has you covered. Here's our list of places to eat and drink near Dodger Stadium.
Trying to catch a game? LAist is offering tickets to Game 5 of the World Series at Dodger Stadium. A donation in any amount enters you to win a pair of Field Level tickets on Wednesday. You can enter here and go Dodgers!
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else.
