TORONTO BLOWS IT IN THE NINTH--FAILS A SECOND AND THIRD,WITH NO OUTS--LOSES 3-1. GAME SEVEN TOMORROW.
GRA:The Federal Crime Dodgers had one inning,where they scored three runs,and then held on the last two innings to win game six,3-1 over Toronto.
A pop out and double play on a fly ball finished the Blue Jays in the ninth after getting the first two runners aboard on a hit batter and screwy double--which ultimately cost them the game. A long liner from Berger lodged into the bottom of the wall,costing Toronto a run and a man at third.
Fate took a major dump on Toronto in that sequence.
Ohtani to start tomorrow(they say)

TCM's Film Noir of the Week Saturday Night-Sunday Morning at 12:15 and 10 a.m. ET is Robert Gordon's Blind Spot (1947) with Chester Morris, Constance Dowling, Steven Geray, Sid Tomack, William Forrest.
Film Noir Guide: "Narrator Morris plays a has-been novelist accused of murdering his conniving publisher (Forrest) in this tightly plotted, locked-room murder mystery. Stewed to the gills, Morris shows up at the publisher's office and denands an advance on his royalties."
"The publisher refuses and suggests that Morris start writing more marketable books a la the company's best-selling mystery writer (Geray), who witnesses the confrontation. When Forrest is found dead, Morris, who's experiencing hangover memory loss, is arrested and later released. The publisher's glamourous secretary (Dowling) offers to help him prove his innocence."
"It's not difficult to figure out who the killer is, but the question of how the murderer got out of a room bolted from the inside will have the viewer thinking. Between 1941 and 1949, Morris starred in a string of Boston Blackie films and later had a role in the short-lived 1960 TV series Diagnosis Unknown.
