Dodgers repeat as World Series champions after Smith home run against Jays
"Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who threw 96 pitches in the Dodgers' win on Friday, escaped a bases-loaded jam in the ninth and pitched 2 2/3 innings for his third win of the Series. He gave up a leadoff double in the 11th to Vladimir Guerrero Jr, who was sacrificed to third. Addison Barger walked, and Alejandro Kirk grounded to shortstop Mookie Betts, who started a title-winning 6-4-3 double play."
"With their ninth title and third in six years, the Dodgers made an argument for their 2020s teams to be considered a dynasty. Dave Roberts, their manager since 2016, boosted the probability that he will gain induction to the Hall of Fame. Bo Bichette put Toronto ahead in the third with a three-run homer off two-way star Shohei Ohtani, who was pitching on three days' rest after taking the loss in Game 3."
The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 5-4 in Game 7 when Will Smith hit a 2-0 slider for a walk-off home run in the 11th inning. Miguel Rojas tied the game with a ninth-inning drive, and the Dodgers overcame 3-0 and 4-2 deficits. Yoshinobu Yamamoto escaped a bases-loaded jam in the ninth and pitched 2 2/3 innings for his third Series win. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. led off the 11th with a double before a 6-4-3 double play ended the threat. The victory made Los Angeles the first repeat World Series champion in 25 years and strengthened dynasty claims.
