World Series live updates: Dodgers, Blue Jays tied at 5 in 15th inning of Game 3...
15th inning!
Will Klein is now pitching for the Dodgers.
Onto the 15th...
This fly ball from Will Smith fooled just about everyone by staying in the ballpark.
Rojas grounds out, and that does it for the 14th inning.
This is now our second 15-inning game of the 2025 MLB postseason.
Edman pops up for the second out. Miguel Rojas gets the Dodgers' last chance of the inning.
Teoscar knocks a single into center field, and the Dodgers have two aboard.
Tommy Edman is up next. Two on, one out, bottom of the 14th.
Muncy draws a walk, and the Dodgers have a baserunner with one out in the 14th.
Muncy also ALMOST walks it off ... but it's foul in the right-field corner.
Blue Jays down in order
Henriquez retired the Blue Jays in order in the top of the 14th inning, including a swinging strikeout of Andres Giménez to end the frame. The 23-year-old has retired six out of the seven batters he’s faced, with the lone hiccup coming on a hit-by-pitch.
Henriquez is the Dodgers’ ninth pitcher of the night. The Blue Jays are still on their eighth pitcher with Eric Lauer staying on.
Lauer is back on the mound for the Blue Jays.
And Will Smith ALMOST walks it off for the Dodgers, hitting a fly ball all the way to the wall in center field.
That's one out.
After fouling a painful-looking pitch off his leg, Gimenez strikes out.
And it's the Dodgers' turn ... again.
Smith, Muncy and Teoscar are due up for L.A.
It's the top of the 14th now, and Henriquez is still pitching for L.A.
Myles Straw is the first batter for Toronto. He flies out for out No. 1
Dodgers strand runners in the 13th
After pulling off three excellent defensive plays through the later innings, Tommy Edman led off the bottom of the 13th with a double and was moved over to third base on a sacrifice bunt from Miguel Rojas. However, the Dodgers failed to get him home.
Alex Call appeared as a pinch hitter and failed to hit the ball out of the infield, so the Blue Jays walked Shohei Ohtani (his seventh time reaching base tonight) and Mookie Betts intentionally to load the bases. Freeman, who is no stranger to walk off hits in the World Series, hit a drive to deep left center field but it just didn’t have enough distance to send the crowd home happy.
What a game. Let’s go to the 14th. This is officially the second-longest World Series game in history.
1:09 a.m.: Call — who was acquired from the Washington Nationals in the middle of the season — pops up and Edman is not able to tag from third. With Ohtani coming up, the Blue Jays once again choose to walk him.
Then, Schneider and Toronto decide to walk Mookie Betts, and Freddie Freeman is up with the bases loaded in extras.
Freeman was up with the bases loaded in extras at the first World Series game at Dodger Stadium in 2024, and we know how that ended.
Tommy Edman is aboard
Leading off the 13th and batting right-handed for the first time tonight, Edman knocks a double deep into center field.
The Dodgers have a runner in scoring position with no outs in the 13th.
12:59 a.m.: Henriquez started the inning with getting out Guerrero Jr. on a grounder, and after that, he strikes out Bichette.
But, with two outs, Henriquez hits Varsho and the Blue Jays have a runner on.
End of the 12th inning: Blue Jays 5, Dodgers 5
To the 13th!
Muncy pops out, and Teoscar pops out, and that's the end of the 12th.
Fisher gets Will Smith to strike out for the first out of the bottom of the 12th.
The Jays are going to Eric Lauer now, with Max Muncy coming up to bat.
Kershaw gets out of it!
After working the count full, Lukes grounds out to end the threat and the top half of the inning.
Kershaw got it done.
Dodgers are coming back up to bat in the bottom of the 12th.
Kershaw in with bases loaded
How’s this for a set-up: Bases loaded, two outs in a tie game in the World Series in the top of the 12th inning. What do you do? Ask a future Hall of Famer to clean up the mess, of course. We’re about to see Clayton Kershaw come into this one.
Clayton Kershaw is coming in to pitch
This is not a drill.
Kershaw is pitching for the Dodgers with the bases loaded and two outs in the 12th inning.
Davis Schneider hits a grounder and reaches first. Heineman is originally called out at third, but after a Toronto challenge, he's safe.
The bases are loaded for Toronto with two outs.
End of the 11th inning: Blue Jays 5, Dodgers 5
Ohtani walked, and it works for Blue Jays
Shohei Ohtani is officially getting the Barry Bonds treatment. With two outs in the bottom of the 11th inning, the Blue Jays elected to intentionally walk Ohtani and put him on base as the winning run rather than let him swing the bat.
It sounds a bit extreme, especially with Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman behind him in the lineup, but with the way Ohtani has swung the bat tonight it’s also completely understandable. After Betts reached on a single, Braydon Fisher got Freddie Freeman to fly out to end the inning, so the gamble paid off for Blue Jays manager John Schneider.
Surprising Dodgers arms coming up big
Underrated part of tonight's ballgame if the Dodgers win has been the performances of Emmet Sheehan and Justin Wrobleski, two of L.A.'s young starters-turned-relievers. The duo have combined to toss 3 2/3 scoreless innings. That has kept the Dodgers in this ballgame.
In other words: If not for Sheehan and Wrobleski, Shohei Ohtani's historic evening might have all been for naught. Actually, wait, it still might be.
Dodgers up in the 11th
Varsho strikes out, and that's a clean inning from Sheehan to send it to the Dodgers' half of the 11th.
Dodgers take it to bottom of 11th
Emmet Sheehan sat down the Blue Jays in order in the top of the 11th inning.
Kiké Hernandez, Andy Pages and Shohei Ohtani are due up in the bottom of the frame. Do the Blue Jays even bother pitching to Ohtani again in this game?
If the Blue Jays can get past that, it looks like future Hall of Fame Clayton Kershaw could be coming into the game. You know, just because this game needs more drama.
Sheehan is still taking care of business for L.A.
He got a Vlad flyout and an IKF groundout for the first two outs.
Dodgers, Blue Jays both fail to score in 10th
The Dodgers pushed the potential winning run to second base on a single from Teoscar Hernández, but Jeff Hoffman got Tommy Edman to pop out to first base to escape. On to the 11th we go.
With one out in the inning, Hoffman hits Smith with a pitch.
The Dodgers have a runner on first with Max Muncy up.
Muncy strikes out,
and it'll be up to Teoscar. Otherwise, we're headed to the 11th.
Insane play at home
This game is officially a classic. After Ty France reached with a two-out single, Nathan Lukes hit one into the right field corner. France got the green light to head home, but Teoscar Hernandez made a brilliant throw to the cut-off man Tommy Edman, who nailed France at home plate.
Another wild play
Ty France singled to put a runner on with two outs. The Jays had Davis Schneider pinch run.
Nathan Lukes doubled to the right-field corner, and Schneider was sent home ... and tagged out.
Two down
Clement pops out, and Gimenez strikes out, and that's two down in the 10th.
Back to the top of the order to Ty France.
To extras!
Betts flies out, and that's the end of the ninth inning.
To the 10th we go. Looks like Emmet Sheehan is taking the ball for the Dodgers
11:46 p.m.: We're going to extra innings in Game 3.
Betts flies out after Ohtani gets thrown out at second, and Hoffman works only three batters.
This game will take 10 or more innings to see who will take a 2-1 lead.
Call is upheld
Ohtani is caught stealing. And that's two outs in the bottom of the ninth.
Ohtani thrown out at second
Ohtani tried to steal second base but was thrown out for the second out of the inning.
Shohei Ohtani intentionally walked
The Blue Jays elect to walk Ohtani after two homers and a double. I don't blame them. Mookie Betts up.
11:38 p.m.: The game is tied 5-5, and the Blue Jays opt to bring in closer Jeff Hoffman in for the ninth inning.
Though the Blue Jays cannot win the game, Hoffman will face critical batters in Pages, Ohtani and Betts.
Straw grounds out, and that's the end of the Blue Jays' half of the ninth. Roki gets the job done.
It's Pages, Ohtani and Betts coming up for L.A. with a chance to walk it off in Game 3.

Dodgers defense keeping them in game
Game-changing by the Dodgers here in the top of the eighth inning, as Isiah Kiner-Falefa tried to advance to third base on a Daulton Varsho single which deflected off the glove of first baseman Freddie Freeman. However, Tommy Edman made a heads up play to track down the ball in shallow right field and make a quick and accurate throw to nail Kiner-Falefa at third base.
It was the right call to send Kiner-Falefa to third base. It was simply a great play by Edman, who committed a key error earlier in the game.
11:33 p.m.: Game 3 has been full of electric moments on the bases, and there's another in the ninth.
With Isaiah Kiner-Falefa on first, Varsho hits a liner to first, which is bobbled by Freeman. But, Edman went and scooped up the error, and he threw to third before Kiner-Falefa was there, and the base runner is out.
Varsho got to first, but there are no runners in scoring position with two outs.
11:29 p.m.: Guerrero Jr. had a chance to put his stamp on the World Series to open up the ninth inning, and though he drives one deep to right, it's not deep enough.
Teoscar Hernandez is able to get under the fly out and the Dodgers have one down in the ninth.
10:28 P.M: Roki is back out on the mound. He gets Vlad to fly out for out No. 1.
10:25 P.M: On to the ninth
Chris Bassitt pitches a 1-2-3 bottom of the eighth, and we're still tied 5-5 heading to the ninth inning.
End of the eighth inning: Blue Jays 5, Dodgers 5
11:22 p.m.: Chris Bassitt came in for the eighth inning and delivered a scoreless three outs, like he did in both ALCS Game 7 and World Series Game 1.
Bassitt gets Kike Hernandez swinging, and it's a 1-2-3 inning. It's all tied heading to the ninth.
11:16 p.m.: Sasaki had runners on second and third with two outs, but Nathan Lukes hit a bouncer right back to the pitcher, who has to leap a little to make the play. He throws out Lukes at first and it's 5-5 going to the bottom of the inning.
11:10 p.m.: It's a pitching change for Los Angeles.
With Barger and Gimenez — who hit a single — on base, the Dodgers take out Treinen, and it's now Roki Sasaki in.
Sasaki gets out of it on seven pitches. It's wild to think of how quickly he's become beloved at Dodger Stadium, which is chanting his name during at-bats.
The Dodgers would really, really like if that's the only pitcher they have to use for the rest of the game.
Everything Shohei Ohtani does is history-making
Reporting from Los Angeles
Ohtani did it again tonight, as he hit his second homer of the night with a solo shot against Seranthony DomÃnguez in the bottom of the seventh inning to tie the game 5-5.
Ohtani is now 4-for-4 with two homers and two doubles tonight. He has now tied Frank Isbell of the 1906 White Sox for the most extra base hits (4) in a World Series game.
By the way, Ohtani has now delivered extra-base hits in seven straight at-bats in Dodger Stadium if you include his three-homer performance in Game 4 of the NLCS against the Brewers. Just awe-inducing stuff.
And there's Roki Sasaki. The Dodgers flame-thrower enters to face the top of the Blue Jays order after two batters reach base against Jack Dreyer.
One out, with Ty France coming up.
Mookie Betts grounds a ball to first on a tough play up the middle and Freddie Freeman can't scoop it. An E6 puts the leadoff runner on base for the Blue Jays.

The Dodgers have another man on base, with Freeman walking.
End of the seventh inning: Blue Jays 5, Dodgers 5
11:02 p.m.: It's 5-5 at the end of the seventh.
While the Dodgers had two runners on after Ohtani's game-tying home run, they can't add on more.
But, it's a tie game. We have the makings of another World Series classic
Blue Jays 5, Dodgers 5
10:56 p.m.: Shohei Ohtani hit three home runs in a game the last time the Dodgers played at home. Now, he's hit two in Game 3 of the World Series.
George Springer comes out with injury
George Springer, Toronto's designated hitter and leadoff man, winced and immediately walked toward the dugout after a seventh-inning swing as he faced Dodgers left-hander Justin Wrobleski.
Springer, who has been playing through significant knee pain, clutched his left lower back after his swing, consulted briefly with manager John Schneider and a trainer and walked to the dugout.
He was replaced by pinch-hitter Ty France, who struck out.
Treinen gets out of the inning, but not before Bichette and the Blue Jays take a 5-4 lead.
It was the Dodgers who took the lead in the seventh inning in Game 2, and now it's Toronto who does it in Game 3.
Blue Jays retake lead
After Vladimir Guerrero Jr. singled to center field, Bo Bichette singles himself on a ground ball to right fielder Teoscar Hernández. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. went from first to home to score on a close throw at the plate.
Toronto 5-4 in the seventh.
Blue Jays 5, Dodgers 4
Bo Bichette has given Toronto the lead.
With two outs and Guerrero Jr. on first, Bichette hits an opposite-field liner past Freeman. While Hernandez made a throw at home, it was off-line and Guerrero Jr. scores. It's now 5-4 Blue Jays in the seventh.
Louie Varland coming up big for Toronto
While Louie Varland stumbled in his World Series debut on Saturday, he continues to be the Blue Jays’ iron man out of the bullpen this postseason.
Varland helped put out a fire in the bottom of the fifth by striking out Will Smith with the go-ahead run on first base, and he just delivered a scoreless frame in the sixth with the help of an excellent throw from Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to cut down Teoscar Hernández at third base.
Amazingly, Varland has now appeared in 12 out of the Blue Jays’ 14 postseason games. It hasn’t always been a smooth ride — he’s allowed four home runs this month — but the hard-throwing right-hander has certainly earned the trust of his manager.
Guerrero Jr. has his first hit of the game, grounding a single in between Edman and Betts to get on base.
The Blue Jays have a runner on first with two outs and Bichette up, with a chance to deliver his big postseason moment.
With two outs and nobody on in the top of the seventh, Roberts pulls Wrobleski from the game to put in Blake Treinen.
His first batter: Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
George Springer has left the game.
The ALCS Game 7 hero swung at the first pitch he saw from Wrobleski, but came up missing and grimacing in pain. He was taken out of the game by trainers and now Ty France is pinch-hitting for him.

Blue Jays survive the bottom of the sixth
Wild play just now as the Dodgers were threatening to take the lead.
Enrique Hernández began with a single on a ground ball past shortstop Andrés Giménez. Teoscar Hernández, running to third, was thrown out by first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. moments later.
Dodgers' offense coming alive
I noted earlier that the Dodgers’ bats need to step it up. I don’t know if they heard me, but I feel vindicated nonetheless.
Shohei Ohtani has homered and knocked in a run with a double tonight while Freddie Freeman just tied things up with an RBI single against lefty Mason Fluharty in the bottom of the fifth inning. If these guys start getting locked in, this lineup becomes a nightmare for any pitcher.
Alejandro Kirk home run ambushes Tyler Glasnow
LOS ANGELES - The Blue Jays ambushed Dodgers right-hander Tyler Glasnow, and perhaps changed the complexion of this entire World Series in a four-batter span.
Alejandro Kirk spanked a Glasnow first-pitch curveball over the wall in left center field for a three-run home run, erasing a two-run deficit as the Blue Jays took a 4-2 in the fourth inning of Game 3 of the World Series.
Kirk, their typical clean-up hitter, was moved to the No. 6 hole with the return of Bo Bichette from injury. And after Vladimir Guerrero Jr. walked and Bichette reached on an error from second baseman Tommy Edman, Kirk sent the next pitch over the head of a leaping Andy Pages to take the lead.
Toronto was not done peppering Glasnow, as Addison Barger and Ernie Clement contributed consecutive singles to set up a sacrifice fly from No. 9 hitter Andrés Giménez. With Glasnow's pitch count drifting north of 60, it also enhanced the chances the Blue Jays get a crack at the Dodgers' struggling bullpen.
Freddie Freeman ties game
With Shohei Ohtani at second base and two outs, Freddie Freeman hit a hard ball past the first base bag for a single and an RBI.
It's 4-4 with two outs in the fifth.
Ohtani Drives In a Run
Shohei Ohtani doubles to left field, scoring Enrique Hernández. The Dodgers now trail 4–3 in the fifth inning.
Banda Escapes the Fifth
Dodgers reliever Anthony Banda forces Daulton Varsho to pop out to shortstop Mookie Betts, ending the Blue Jays’ threat.
Anthony Banda Enters for Dodgers
Banda replaces Glasnow in relief. He’s struggled this postseason with an 8.10 ERA across 3.1 innings.
Blue Jays Pressuring Dodgers’ Bullpen
Toronto’s best path to victory has been wearing down L.A.’s starters. After tagging Blake Snell in Game 1 and now Glasnow in Game 3, the Jays are forcing Los Angeles to rely on its inconsistent bullpen.
Teoscar Hernández Powering the Dodgers
Hernández continues his postseason tear, homering off Scherzer in the second inning. It’s his fifth homer of this playoff run, adding to his strong 2024 World Series performance.
Ohtani Extends Dodgers Lead
Shohei Ohtani goes deep to right field in the third inning, putting Los Angeles up 2–0 early.
Controversial Call on Bichette Pickoff
Bo Bichette’s pickoff in the second inning sparks debate. Umpire Mark Wegner’s delayed strike call may have altered the frame’s momentum. The challenge system for balls and strikes, debuting in 2026, might eliminate such controversies.
Dodgers Strike First
Teoscar Hernández launches a solo shot to left-center, giving Los Angeles a 1–0 lead in the second inning.
Jays Threaten but Can’t Cash In
Toronto loads the bases but fails to score. Bichette singled before being picked off, and Glasnow escaped the inning unscathed.
Strong Start for Glasnow
The Dodgers’ ace strikes out George Springer and induces two quick outs. Ohtani doubles but is stranded as L.A. fails to capitalize early.
Glasnow Starts for Dodgers
With a 0.68 postseason ERA, Glasnow has been dominant. Tonight marks his third playoff start, facing veteran Max Scherzer.
Dodgers’ Big Bats Need to Wake Up
Despite elite pitching, L.A.’s stars (Ohtani, Freeman, Betts) have been quiet, combining for 4-for-21 through the first two games. Game 3 could be their turning point.
Ohtani to Pitch Game 4
Shohei Ohtani will make his first World Series start tomorrow in Game 4. The matchup begins at 8 p.m. ET on FOX.
Bichette Shifts to Second Base
Recovering from a knee injury, Bo Bichette will play second while Andres Giménez remains at shortstop.
Yamamoto’s Game 2 Gem
Yoshinobu Yamamoto threw the first complete game in a World Series since 2015, silencing the Jays in a 5–1 win.
Flight Delays for Blue Jays
Toronto’s trip to Los Angeles faced travel delays but the team arrived in time for pregame warmups.
Hideo Nomo Throws First Pitch
Dodgers legend and 1995 Rookie of the Year Hideo Nomo delivers the ceremonial first pitch before Game 3.
aScherzer Starts for Toronto
Three-time Cy Young winner Max Scherzer takes the mound for the Blue Jays, looking to steal one on the road with the series tied 1–1.
