Dodgers Rally To Win Back-to-Back World Series Titles in Dramatic Game 7
Japanese pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto was named World Series MVP after delivering 2 2/3 scoreless innings of relief in Game 7, including shutting down the Blue Jays in the final frame and inducing a game-ending double play off Alejandro Kirk.
The victory marked a historic achievement, as the Dodgers became the first team in 25 years to win back-to-back World Series titles, a feat last accomplished by the late-1990s New York Yankees.
The Dodgers faced an early 3–0 deficit after Bo Bichette’s third-inning home run. Shohei Ohtani pitched six innings but struggled early to contain Toronto’s offense. The Blue Jays extended their lead to 4–2, but Los Angeles refused to back down.
In the ninth inning, Miguel Rojas emerged as the unlikely hero, launching a game-tying home run off Jeff Hoffman to keep the Dodgers’ championship hopes alive.

The game was marked by intense moments, including a bench-clearing incident triggered by a hit-by-pitch in the fourth inning, reflecting the high stakes of the decisive game. The tension did not deter the Dodgers, who pushed the match into extra innings.
Will Smith’s home run in the 11th inning off a 2-0 slider from Shane Bieber provided the Dodgers with their first lead of the night and ultimately the championship-winning run. These back-to-back titles establish the Dodgers as a modern MLB dynasty and further their franchise legacy with their ninth World Series championship. Moreover, their comeback victory ended the Blue Jays’ bid for their first World Series title since 1993.
