Dodgers Crowned Champions in Epic Game 7

In a World Series that will be remembered for its drama, grit, and historic performances, the Los Angeles Dodgers emerged victorious over the Toronto Blue Jays in a nail-biting Game 7, winning 5–4 in 11 innings at Rogers Centre. With this win, the Dodgers clinched their second consecutive title and ninth overall, cementing their status as a modern dynasty

Game 7: A Classic in Every Sense

The Blue Jays, chasing their first championship since 1993, looked poised to end the drought when Bo Bichette launched a three-run homer off Shohei Ohtani in the third inning. But the Dodgers, known for their resilience, clawed back. Sacrifice flies from Teoscar Hernández and Tommy Edman narrowed the gap, and Max Muncy’s eighth-inning solo shot brought L.A. within one.

Then came Miguel Rojas. With one out in the ninth, he crushed a solo homer to tie the game, sending it into extra innings. In the 11th, catcher Will Smith delivered the decisive blow a solo home run that gave the Dodgers the lead for the first time that night.

Yamamoto’s Heroics Earn MVP Honors

Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who had pitched Game 6 just a day earlier, returned in relief to record the final eight outs. His performance—on zero days’ rest—was nothing short of legendary. Across the series, Yamamoto posted a 1.02 ERA over 17⅔ innings, earning him the World Series MVP title.

Toronto’s Valiant Effort

Despite the heartbreak, the Blue Jays showcased their depth and determination. Rookie Trey Yesavage made history in Game 5 with 12 strikeouts and no walks, becoming the first rookie to achieve such a feat in World Series history. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Davis Schneider provided early fireworks, and the team pushed the defending champs to the brink.

A Series of Records and Emotion

This World Series featured:

• The longest best-of-seven series by innings in MLB history.
• The first Game 7 since 2019.
• A dramatic 18-inning Game 3.
• Shohei Ohtani becoming the first pitcher to get a hit in a Game 7 since 1986.

For the Dodgers, this win marks their third title in six years and solidifies manager Dave Roberts’ legacy. For Toronto, the journey may have ended in heartbreak, but the foundation is strong, and the future looks promising.
As the confetti settles and the champagne flows, one thing is clear: the 2025 World Series was a celebration of baseball at its finest where legends were born, and history was made.
