Clayton Kershaw 'Had No Idea' Dodgers Won 2025 World Series
"I was warming up, and I saw Vladdy hit the double, so I started getting going faster. I didn't see Kiner-Falefa bunted. I didn't see that. So I saw Barger is on first with the walk, so Kirk grounds into the double play, and I'm thinking, two outs, run scores, game is tied. We've got a lefty, Varsho up, I'm in the game."
"Yoshinobu Yamamoto was on the mound, pitching on no days of rest, trying to close out the game in the bottom half of the inning, but allowed a leadoff double to Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and a one-out walk to Addison Barger. At the time, Clayton Kershaw was warming up in the bullpen, and he likely would have entered the game after Yamamoto faced Alejandro Kirk."
The Los Angeles Dodgers completed an extra-innings comeback to win the 2025 World Series, earning back-to-back titles. The team recovered from an early three-run deficit and tied the game with one out in the ninth when Miguel Rojas hit a solo home run. Will Smith delivered a go-ahead home run in the 11th inning. Yoshinobu Yamamoto pitched on no days' rest and allowed a leadoff double to Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and a one-out walk to Addison Barger. Alejandro Kirk grounded into a game-ending double play, clinching the title. Clayton Kershaw was warming in the bullpen and did not realize the game had ended until bullpen coach Josh Bard told him.
