The World Series doesn’t hand out breathers, and Game 3 proved it. The Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays traded punches for 18 innings until every move felt like a bullpen coin flip. But inside the chaos was the moment that could tilt the whole thing: George Springer wincing mid-swing, grabbing his right side, and exiting.
He got an MRI overnight and we still don’t have clarity for Game 4, which is a problem for a lineup built on contact, carry, and veteran poise. And here’s the wrinkle we can’t shake: this is exactly where a former San Diego Padres bat like Ty France can matter.
