The Los Angeles Dodgers have rallied to beat the Toronto Blue Jays 5-4 in extra innings of a decisive seventh game of the World Series to become Major League Baseball’s first repeat champion in 25 years.<\/p>\n

Los Angeles overcame 3-0 and 4-2 deficits and escaped a bases-loaded jam in the ninth to become the first repeat champion since the 1998-2000 New York Yankees, and the first from the National League since the 1975 and 1976 Cincinnati Reds.<\/p>\n

The Dodgers were down 3-4 in the ninth inning when Miguel Rojas tied the game with a home run, followed by Will Smith hitting a solo home run in the 11th inning for what would be the winning 5-4 scoreline.<\/p>\n

Smith’s hit on a 2-0 slider off Shane Bieber into the Blue Jays’ bullpen in left-field, was the Dodgers’ first lead of the night.<\/p>\n

“You dream of those moments, you know, extra innings, put your team ahead \u2014 I’ll remember that forever,” Smith said.<\/p>\n

Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who threw 96 pitches in the Dodgers’ game six win, escaped a bases-loaded jam in the ninth and threw 43 pitches over 2 2\/3 innings for his third win of the Series.<\/p>\n

Ohtani completes 119-year first as LA Dodgers win historic World Series epic<\/a><\/p>\n

Los Angeles Dodgers’ star Shohei Ohtani has completed one of the greatest individual performances in the World Series game.<\/p>\n

He gave up a lead-off double in the 11th to Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who was sacrificed to third. Addison Barger walked and Alejandro Kirk hit a broken-bat grounder to shortstop Mookie Betts, who started a title-winning 6-4-3 double play that ended baseball’s 150th major league season.<\/p>\n

Los Angeles used all four of its post-season starting pitchers, with Yamamoto joined by Shohei Ohtani, Tyler Glasnow and Blake Snell.<\/p>\n

“We’ve got a special group of guys, man,” Smith said.<\/p>\n

“We just never gave up. \u2026 Oh man, that was a fight, for seven games.”<\/p>\n

Bo Bichette put Toronto ahead in the third with a three-run homer off Ohtani, the two-way star pitching on three days’ rest after taking the loss in game three.<\/p>\n

Los Angeles closed to 3-2 on sacrifice flies from Teoscar Hern\u00e1ndez in the fourth inning off Max Scherzer and Tommy Edman in the sixth inning against Chris Bassitt.<\/p>\n

Andr\u00e9s Gim\u00e9nez restored Toronto’s two-run lead with an RBI double in the sixth off Glasnow, who relieved after getting the final three outs on three pitches to save game six.<\/p>\n

Max Muncy’s eighth-inning homer off star rookie Trey Yesavage cut the Dodgers’ deficit to one run, and Rojas, inserted into the slumping Dodgers’ lineup in game six to provide some energy, homered on a full-count slider from Jeff Hoffman.<\/p>\n

Toronto put two on with one out in the bottom half against Snell, and Los Angeles turned to Yamamoto.<\/p>\n

He hit Kirk on a hand with a pitch, loading the bases and prompting the Dodgers to play the infield in and the outfield shallow. Daulton Varsho grounded to second, where Rojas stumbled but managed to throw home for a forceout as catcher Smith kept his foot on the plate.<\/p>\n

Ernie Clement then was caught by Andy Pages, who made a jumping, backhand catch on the centre-field warning track as he crashed into left fielder Kik\u00e9 Hern\u00e1ndez.<\/p>\n

Seranthony Dom\u00ednguez walked Betts with one out in the 10th and Muncy singled for his third hit.<\/p>\n

Hern\u00e1ndez walked, loading the bases. Pages grounded to shortstop, where Gim\u00e9nez threw home for a force-out. Guerrero fielded a grounder to the right side and threw to pitcher Seranthony Dom\u00ednguez covering first, just beating Hern\u00e1ndez in a call upheld in a video review.<\/p>\n

The epic night matched the Marlins’ 3-2 win over Cleveland in 1997 as the second-longest World Series game seven, behind only the Washington Senators’ 4-3 victory against the New York Giants in 1924.<\/p>\n

The Dodgers became the ninth team to win games six and seven of a World Series as the away team.<\/p>\n
