"It was as unbelievable, indescribable, long-dreamt-of and yet entirely unexpected. In Game 7 of the World Series, the Dodgers cemented a dynasty with one of the greatest games this sport has ever seen. They beat the Toronto Blue Jays 5-4 in 11 innings, riding one season-saving play after another to repeat as champions. There was a miraculous ninth-inning comeback, when Miguel Rojas tied it with a home run to left field."
"In the 11th, the Dodgers finally won it, taking their first lead on a Will Smith home run with two outs in the top-half, then watching Yoshinobu Yamamoto - in his third inning of work, a night after throwing 96 pitches in a Game 6 win - close it all out with a heroic final three outs. For ages, this game will be remembered. As long as baseball is played, a script like this will never be replicated."
Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 5-4 in 11 innings in Game 7 to become back-to-back World Series champions, the first repeat in 25 years. The Dodgers fell behind early after a Bo Bichette homer off Shohei Ohtani in the third inning. Miguel Rojas tied the game with a ninth-inning home run, and the Dodgers escaped a bases-loaded jam in the bottom of the ninth. Will Smith hit an 11th-inning go-ahead home run. Yoshinobu Yamamoto retired the final three batters after pitching multiple innings, including heavy work the night before.
