"Game 7. The two best words in sports...unless you were a Toronto Blue Jays fan on November 1st, 2025. In a gut-wrenching 5-4 loss to the Dodgers in 11 innings, Toronto had an abundance of opportunities to capture its first World Series title since 1993. It's a game that was watched by millions of viewers and for the Blue Jays fans, a game they will never forget, for all the wrong reasons."
"The opportunities for the Blue Jays started early. In the bottom of the second inning, Toronto had Bichette and Barger on first and second with nobody out but failed to capitalize. What followed were two quick outs, a single that Bo couldn't score on because of his hamstring, and a strikeout that ended the inning. Missed chances like that would loom large when the ninth rolled around."
"After the Blue Jays jumped out to a 3-0 lead on a Bo Bichette home run, the Dodgers threatened in the fourth, putting runners on the corners with nobody out. After a Betts flyout and a Muncy walk, Los Angeles had the bases loaded with one out - but Daulton Varsho came up huge with a diving catch in center, limiting the damage to just one run on a Teoscar Hernández sacrifice fly."
Toronto built an early lead with a Bo Bichette home run and extended it to 4-2 on an Andrés Giménez RBI double. The Blue Jays failed to convert several key opportunities, including a second-inning threat with Bichette and Barger on and a sixth-inning rally that ended with a strikeout, line out, and groundout. Defensive plays by Daulton Varsho and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. limited Los Angeles damage in the fourth. The Dodgers rallied late and won 5-4 in 11 innings in Game 7, denying Toronto its first World Series title since 1993.
