"The Dodgers battled back from an early 3-0 deficit in Game 7 to claim their third World Series in six seasons, as well as their second championship in a row. LA came into Game 7 riding a high from a thrilling Game 6 win, but they immediately came back down to Earth in the bottom of the third inning. Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette gave the Blue Jays a 3-0 lead with a 442-foot blast to center field, sending the Rogers Centre into a frenzy."
"The Dodgers got out of the third inning without any further damage, and began slowly clawing their way back in the fourth. Teoscar Hernandez drove in Will Smith with a sacrifice fly in the top of the fourth inning, cutting the Blue Jays' lead to two runs. Tempers flared in the bottom of the fourth inning, when Dodgers reliever Justin Wrobleski hit Blue Jays second baseman Andres Gimenez - who appeared to throw his arm at the pitch prior - with a pitch. After being hit, Gimenez outstretched his arms towards the mound, and Wrobleski began walking towards the batter."
"The benches cleared and the umpires avoided tossing anyone, but both teams received warnings for the remainder of the game. The Dodgers scored next in the top of the sixth innings, with Tommy Edman scoring Mookie Betts sacrifice fly of his own to cut the Jays' lead to one. The Blue Jays didn't just sit back and watch, though, as Gimenez took his revenge with a one-run double to right field, scoring Ernie Clement. Toronto kept their 4-2 lead into the eighth inning, but couldn't quite hold on to the advantage. Third baseman Max Muncy sent a ball over the fence in right field to cut the deficit to one, setting up one of the most iconic moments in postseason history. Down a run, Dodgers veteran infielder Miguel Rojas stepped to the plate in the top of the ninth inning with one out. Rojas hadn't recorded a hit sin"
The Dodgers erased an early 3-0 deficit in Game 7 to win the World Series, claiming their third title in six seasons and their second straight. Toronto grabbed the early lead when Bo Bichette launched a 442-foot homer in the third. Los Angeles responded with sacrifice flies by Teoscar Hernandez and Mookie Betts and a late Max Muncy home run to cut the gap. A benches-clearing incident occurred after Justin Wrobleski hit Andres Gimenez, but no ejections followed. The game reached its climax with Miguel Rojas batting in the ninth with one out.
