⚾ Dodgers Take Control Early
Los Angeles made their intentions clear in the third inning. Tommy Edman got things started with a sharp double, followed by Shohei Ohtani drawing a walk. Will Smith then drilled a two-base hit to left, driving in the first run of the night.
Moments later, Mookie Betts broke out of his slump with a clutch two-run single that pushed the lead to 3–0. It was a quick, explosive inning that gave the Dodgers all the momentum they needed.
💥 Blue Jays’ Late Rally Falls Short
Toronto fans finally had reason to cheer in the fifth when George Springer lined a single to bring in a run, cutting the deficit to 3–1. The Jays kept pushing, creating real tension in the final inning.
With one out in the ninth, Addison Barger smashed a deep drive that bounced over the wall for a ground-rule double — suddenly, the potential championship-winning rally was alive.
Then came the moment that changed everything. Kiké Hernández, positioned perfectly in left field, snagged a screaming line drive and fired to second base before the runner could get back. Double play. Game over.
What looked like a title celebration turned into stunned silence.
🔥 Yamamoto Delivers Under Pressure
Dodgers starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto was once again brilliant, allowing just one run over six innings while striking out seven. He handled the pressure like a seasoned veteran, keeping Toronto’s bats quiet when it mattered most.
Blue Jays ace Kevin Gausman was sharp early, striking out eight, but that one shaky third inning proved costly. After that, the Dodgers’ bullpen took control and never let go.
🌟 One Game for Everything
The Dodgers’ victory means the 2025 World Series now heads to a thrilling winner-take-all Game 7. Los Angeles will look to complete their comeback and defend their crown, while Toronto hopes to finally end their 32-year championship drought.
One game. One night. One champion.
