BREAKING: The Los Angeles Dodgers have triumphed over the Toronto Blue Jays in a nail-biting Game 7 of the World Series, winning 5-4 in extra innings on November 2, 2025. This victory marks the Dodgers as the first team to repeat as champions in 25 years.
In a gripping showdown at Toronto’s Rogers Centre, the Dodgers’ Will Smith launched a go-ahead home run in the 11th inning, delivering the decisive blow in a contest that had fans on the edge of their seats. “You dream of those moments,” Smith declared, encapsulating the thrill of a game that lasted over four hours.
The Dodgers initially trailed 3-0 after a home run by Bo Bichette in the third inning. However, they fought back, with Max Muncy hitting a crucial solo homer in the eighth. With the Blue Jays just two outs away from their first championship since 1993, Miguel Rojas, who had not homered in weeks, shocked the crowd with a game-tying home run in the ninth.
As the tension escalated, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, named World Series MVP, narrowly escaped a bases-loaded situation in the bottom of the ninth. In a remarkable display of defensive skill, Dodgers’ Mookie Betts turned a title-winning double play in the eleventh, sealing the game and the championship.
This dramatic Game 7 is now etched in history as one of the longest, tying for the second-longest in World Series history. “That game had every single thing you could possibly have,” said Dodgers’ Freddie Freeman, highlighting the emotional roller coaster experienced by both teams.
The Dodgers’ victory not only adds to their legacy, becoming champions for the ninth time, but it also raises questions about their status as a dynasty, with three championships in six years. “To do what we’ve done in this span of time is pretty remarkable,” said Dodgers manager Dave Roberts.
The human impact of this thrilling victory was palpable, as tears flowed among Blue Jays players and fans who felt the sting of a near-miss championship. “I’ve been crying for like probably for an hour,” said Blue Jays player Ernie Clement, reflecting the deep emotions stirred by the loss.
As celebrations erupt in Los Angeles, all eyes will turn to the upcoming season, where the Dodgers will look to defend their title once again. With the 2026 season on the horizon, fans are already buzzing about the potential for another championship run.
