The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Toronto Blue Jays in a grueling matchup to capture a ninth World Series title in franchise history, passing their rival San Francisco Giants and entering a three-way tie for third all-time in MLB history.
In a closely-contested series that went seven games, the Dodgers were able to walk away with a title thanks to contributions from both unlikely and expected sources.
Miguel Rojas was the catalyst for the Dodgers’ most important inning of the whole season, with a game-tying home run in the top of the ninth and later a defensive play to keep Game 7 tied.
The Dodgers desperately needed every single one of Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s 17.2 innings pitched in the World Series, including the final 2.2 frames he delivered in Game 7 on zero days of rest.
The final two outs of Game 7 came on a double play started by Mookie Betts to clinch the championship, quite the fitting end for his journey making the full-time transition to shortstop in 2025.
