Nov 02, 2025

The true beauty of 'Autumn Baseball' poured out on the stage of Game 7 of the World Series.

The match between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Los Angeles Dodgers, which clashed for the World Series championship, went into extra time in the regular nine innings. The Dodgers' persistent will to chase brought the game back to square one at the brink of defeat.

The Los Angeles Dodgers, which was being dragged by starting pitcher Shohei Ohtani allowing the first three points, dragged the seventh game of the World Series against the home team Toronto at Rogers Center in Toronto, Ontario, Canada on the morning of the 2nd (Korea time).

In the bottom of the third inning, with one out and runners on the first and third bases, the Dodgers gave up the lead by allowing Ohtani to give Toronto's third batter Bobissett a three-run home run. Ohtani passed the first and second innings without allowing a run, but failed to pass the third inning and was substituted after a home run.

Toronto's advantage continued after the first three points. Max Scherzer, who started, gave up one run in the top of the fourth inning, but he pitched well with four hits, one run, one walk, and three strikeouts in four ⅓ innings. He was replaced by Luis Valand in the top of the fifth inning with one out and a runner on first base. Valand had a right-handed hit by his first opponent, Ohtani, but he overcame the crisis by turning Will Smith and Freddie Freeman back to center field.

In the sixth inning, both teams scored one point each. The Dodgers followed one more point in the top of the sixth inning with Tommy Edman's sacrifice fly to center field with one out and runners on the second and third bases. However, Toronto went on a 4-2 run in the bottom of the sixth inning with Andres Jimenez's timely double at second base with no outs.

Toronto entered the second half of the game with a two-point lead. The Dodgers' dream of winning the World Series for two consecutive years seemed to be gradually disappearing.

But the Dodgers' potential was alive. After one out in the top of the eighth inning, Max Muncy hit a superior one-run home run against Yessevidge, catching up with 3-4, reviving the spark. The game fell into a mystery. The Dodgers put up Blake Snell in the bottom of the eighth inning. Snell saved the bottom of the eighth with three outs.

Then, the Dodgers had another opportunity. Miguel Rojas launched a tiebreaking solo shot again after one out in the bottom of the ninth inning against Toronto closer Hoffman. The game was 4-4 to square one.

The Dodgers called Yamamoto Yoshinobu again when Snell was hit by Bissett to the left after one out in the bottom of the ninth inning. Yamamoto was somewhat shaken. After walking his first opponent, Addison Barger, he allowed a hit ball to Alejandro Kirk, and was on the verge of loading the bases with one out.

But Yamamoto overcame the crisis. Second baseman Rojas, who caught Dalton Basho's ground ball, caught the third baseman with an accurate home pitch. Then, center fielder Andy Pazas, who was replaced in the bottom of the ninth inning, chased Ernie Clement's deep ball to the end and caught it even though it collided with the left field, driving the game to extra time.
