The Los Angeles Dodgers are back-to-back World Series champions after a dramatic comeback in 11 innings against the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 7.
The Los Angeles Dodgers cemented their dynasty with a 5–4 extra-inning victory over the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 7 of the 2025 World Series on Sunday (PH time) at the Rogers Centre.
With the win, the Dodgers captured back-to-back championships and their third title in six seasons, marking their ninth World Series crown overall.
They also became the first team to repeat as champions since the New York Yankees’ three-peat from 1998 to 2000.
Will Smith delivered the decisive blow—a go-ahead home run in the top of the 11th inning—before the Dodgers sealed the title with a clutch double play to end the game.
Down 4-2 late, Los Angeles began its comeback with Max Muncy’s solo blast in the eighth, followed by Miguel Rojas’ game-tying homer in the ninth.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who started Game 6, came out of the bullpen to save LA’s season in the ninth inning, shutting the door with nerves of steel and later earning World Series MVP honors.
Toronto led most of the way behind Bo Bichette’s three-run homer in the third, but faltered when it mattered most.
The Dodgers’ defense shined in the clutch—none bigger than Rojas and Smith tagging out Isiah Kiner-Falefa at home in the ninth, followed by Andy Pages’ game-saving catch to force extra innings.
In the end, it was another Hollywood ending for the Dodgers—champions once again after one of the most dramatic Game 7 comebacks in recent memory.
