October 27th, 2020 was remembered for the Dodgers Game 6 win over the Rays to win their 7th World Championship title in franchise history, the sixth most of all-time. Game 6 was defined by Rays Manager Kevin Cash’s decision to pull Blake Snell in the 6th inning despite racking up 9 Ks with only 2 Hits, and 73 pitches as LA immediately gained the lead after the bullpen came in relief. Check out everything that happened in sports on October 27th last year and the Best in Sports from exactly a year ago, headlined by Jae Crowder’s epic overtime 3pt buzzer beater for the Memphis Grizzlies.
This daily sports article includes real headlines only (no clickbait rumors), all of the best highlights, interesting facts from around the NFL, NBA, & MLB, the main games to watch, top performances of the day, significant birthdays, and a quick recap of notable events on this day in sports history.
