Blue Jays 4 (3-3) vs Dodgers 5 (3-3)
FINAL: Dodgers 5, Blue Jays 4
Kirk grounds into a double play, and that's it. The Dodgers are back-to-back champs. An absolutely devastating loss for the Blue Jays.
Jays have tying run at third
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. led off the bottom of the 11th with a double into the left-field corner and Isiah Kiner-Falefa bunted him over to third base.
Addison Barger is coming to the plate needing a fly ball to tie it.
Toronto police warn fans not to come to Nathan Phillips Square

You wanted more baseball?
This is only the THIRD winner-take-all #WorldSeries game to reach the 11th inning, joining 1997 (11 innings) and 1924 (12 innings)!
Yamamoto is still on the mound, and he'll face Vlad Jr. to start.
Freeman grounds out, and that does it for the Dodgers in the top of the 11th.
The Blue Jays have three more outs to answer, or this World Series is over.
Dodgers 5, Blue Jays 4
Will Smith delivers a solo blast to left field, and that's a Dodgers lead.
Bieber left a slider over the middle, and Smith didn't miss it
Rojas and Ohtani ground out.
Ohtani swung at his first pitch from Bieber, an inside cutter, and made some soft contact for out No. 2.
Shane Bieber is now pitching for the Blue Jays.
He starts against Miguel Rojas.
Yamamoto is still pitching for the Dodgers, somehow.
Gimenez grounds out, Springer strikes out, and Straw (now playing left field for Toronto) flies out.
That's the 10th inning of Game 7. On to the 11th.
He has a 2-2 count vs. Blake Snell.
Barger just fouled one off his foot and appears to be in a lot of pain.
Vlad Jr. almost walks it off, hitting one all the way to the warning track. But that's out No. 1.
Bo Bichette comes up next and hits a single. He's the winning run, and Isiah Kiner-Falefa is coming in to pinch run
To the bottom of the ninth!
Hoffman gets a questionable strike three call on Will Smith, and that'll send us to the bottom of the ninth.
This game is tied.
Ohtani flies out for out No. 2.
Dodgers 4, Blue Jays 4
Miguel Rojas just tied the game with a solo home run off Hoffman.
After working a full count, Hoffman surrendered the game-tying blast to the most unlikely Dodger.
Kiké Hernández chases for strike three, and that's the first out in the ninth.
Tommy Edman grounds to end the top of the eighth. Due up for the Dodgers in the ninth with the championship on the line: Kiké Hernández, Miguel Rojas and Shohei Ohtani.
esavage back out for the eighth
The Blue Jays got an Alejandro Kirk single and nothing more in the bottom of the seventh, so we’re off to the eighth inning with Trey Yesavage coming back out onto the mound. Closer Jeff Hoffman is ready to go in the bullpen if needed.
The middle of the Dodgers’ order is due up - Mookie Betts, Max Muncy and Teoscar Hernandez - with the Jays on top 4-3.
Max Muncy’s 16 home runs extend the most in Dodgers postseason history
Blake Snell just started throwing in the Dodgers bullpen, as well.
Max Muncy got ALL of that one and we have a one-run game again!
Teoscar Hernández grounds out and that's it for Trey Yesavage. The Blue Jays are bringing in Jeff Hoffman for a four-out save.
Blue Jays 4, Dodgers 3
Trey Yesavage was cruising, and then Max Muncy crushed a homer off a high splitter to make this a one-run game. That also means Shohei Ohtani is guaranteed an appearance in the ninth. Buckle up, Jays fans.
Ground shakes at Nathan Phillips Square watch party
The overhead pathways trembled as hundreds of fans jumped up and down to celebrate the run. Police officers who had lined Bay Street with their cruisers reached through the open driver’s side windows and briefly turned on their sirens or honked horns.
Trey Yesavage is coming back out for the eighth inning against the middle of the Dodgers order. It sure looks like the plan is him and Hoffman for the rest of the game.
Emmet Sheehan throws a scoreless seventh inning. Incredibly, the Dodgers bullpen has actually been their stronger unit today compared with their (limited) starting pitcher and offense.
Jeff Hoffman now up in Blue Jays' bullpen
Yesavage gets double-play and the Jays are six outs away
A shaky start to begin the inning for Trey Yesavage, falling behind Shohei Ohtani 3-0 and then walking him on five pitches, but he follows by getting Will Smith to fly out, then Freddie Freeman hits a ground ball to first that Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Andrés Giménez turn into an inning-ending 3-6-3 double play.
The Blue Jays lead 4-2, six outs away from winning the World Series.
Right-hander Emmet Sheehan takes over for the Dodgers as the Rogers Centre crowd stretches to “OK, Blue Jays” for the final time in 2025.
Yesavage gets it done
Three days after striking out 12 Dodgers across seven marvelous innings in Game 5, Trey Yesavage came in for the top of the seventh and the top of the Dodgers' order.
He got the job done on 12 pitches, almost all of them sliders and splitters. We'll see how long Yesavage goes. It would seem likely the Blue Jays want him and closer Jeff Hoffman to cover the final nine outs if possible.
Trey Yesavage enters in the seventh
The top of the order can’t score Gimenez from second base, so the Blue Jays take a 4-2 lead to the top of the seventh and rookie sensation Trey Yesavage is coming out of the bullpen.
The 22-year-old, who started the season in low-A ball and didn’t make his major-league debut until September 15, struck out 12 Dodgers over seven innings of three-hitter in Wednesday’s Game 5, throwing over 100 pitches for the first time in his professional career.
He is in to face the top of the Dodgers’ order, starting with Shohei Ohtani.
Shohei Ohtani: 9 BB, 9 H, 3 HR in World Series
Barry Bonds in 2002 World Series: 13 BB, 8 H, 4 HR
Ernie Clement's slide into home was simply fabulous.
Yesavage starts the inning with a five-pitch walk of Shohei Ohtani. You might recall Ohtani struggling with his control in his appearance on short rest...
Varland sets MLB post-season record
With his 15th appearance, Louis Varland set an MLB record for most appearances by a pitcher in a single post-season.
He breaks a tie with Brandon Morrow of the 2017 Dodgers and Paul Assenmacher for Cleveland in 1997.
Vlad Jr. grounds out to end the sixth inning without further damage. Now comes the top of the Dodgers order, with Trey Yesavage entering the game three days after his historic start in Game 5.
Jays tack on a key run
Ernie Clement led off with a single, his 29th hit of this postseason, tying Randy Arozarena in 2020 for the all-time single-season playoff record.
Then came some strategery. Andres Giménez squared to bunt multiple times but worked a full count almost by accident, with Clement taking second base on the 3-1 pitch without a throw as the Dodgers were scattered about the infield readying their bunt defense.
With the count full, Giménez clanged one over Teoscar Hernandez's head in right for an RBI double. He remains in scoring position with one ou
Lukes flies out to center, but hits it deep enough for Giménez to take third base. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. steps in with two outs and a chance to add another run.
Blue Jays 4, Dodgers 2
Andrés Giménez drives Clement in with a double, and the Jays have a multi-run lead again. There are no safe havens in this lineup.
And now a runner in scoring position with no outs for George Springer.
Ernie Clement ties Randy Arozarena for the most hits in a single postseason at 29. And he didn't have a wild-card round like Arozarena.
The Dodgers are now 1-for-9 with runners in scoring position with seven runners left on base. They've had traffic in nearly every inning, but they just haven't been able to land a real punch against this Blue Jays
And now a hit for Hernández. Once again runners on first and second, with Miguel Rojas up. The Dodgers can tie this game with a hit into the outfield.Rojas softly grounds out to end the inning. The Blue Jays are still up heading into the bottom of the sixth, but the bullpen has made things a little more interesting than they'd want.
Tommy Edman drives home Mookie Betts to make it a 1-run game in
And now a hit for Hernández. Once again runners on first and second, with Miguel Rojas up. The Dodgers can tie this game with a hit into the outfield.
Tommy Edman hits a sacrifice fly to center to cut the lead to a single run. That leaves only a runner on first for Kiké Hernández with two outs.
Varland sets MLB post-season record
Louis Varland celebrates getting out of the fifth inning in Game 7 of the World Series.
With his 15th appearance, Louis Varland set an MLB record for most appearances by a pitcher in a single post-season.
He breaks a tie with Brandon Morrow of the 2017 Dodgers and Paul Assenmacher for Cleveland in 1997.
Chris Bassitt issues a leadoff walk to Mookie Betts.

1. Justin Verlander - 244

Varland does his job in relief, now the Jays need insurance
Louis Varland gets the job done in the fifth, getting Will Smith and Freddie Freeman to fly out to centre after allowing a single to Ohtani to put the go-ahead runners on base.
The Blue Jays maintain their 3-1 lead to the bottom of the fifth, but it feels like they really need to add on.

CEO of Roots Canada catches Bichette's home run ball for her daughters
CEO of Roots Canada catches Bichette's home run ball for her daughtersMeghan Roach, the CEO of Roots Canada, watched a ball off Bo Bichette’s bat get lasered straight toward her near centre field.
Sitting a few rows up in the 100-level, the ball bounced off a wall of hands reaching for it before landing on the ground.
“I thought it’s coming right towards us, there’s no way it actually lands right here,” Roach told the Star.
“Then it literally landed right in front of me,” she added, speaking calmly about the experience despite the chaos of chanting fans around her.
Roach says stadium authenticators found her quickly after, but she is “definitely” not selling the ball.
“I have two little girls at home, they’re gonna be so excited,” Roach said before she was interrupted by a man one row below screaming “sell it, it’s worth so much!”
“It’s gonna be a memento…it’s gonna stay in my house.”
Tyler Glasnow posts a drama-free fifth inning and is at 19 pitches through 1 1/3 innings.
Jays have been hit by pitches frequently in World Series

Frank Gunn/The Canadian Press
Blue Jays hitters have now been plunked by Dodgers pitchers in six of the seven World Series games.
In contrast, only two Dodgers have been hit by pitches.
That may have contributed to the tempers flaring up in the fourth inning.
Updated 2 mins ago
Scherzer back out for the fifth
Glasnow got a 3-1 sinker just off the middle of the plate enough for Guerrero to barely miss it. Vladdy lines out to centre to end the inning.
Max Scherzer comes back out to the mound for the fifth after barely surviving the inning before with the Blue Jays on top 3-1.
Scherzer's night is done with Ohtani due up
Max Scherzer somehow made it through 4 1/3 innings in this game and, with Shohei Ohtani coming up as the tying run, he leaves the game with one out in the fifth for right-hander Louis Varland.
The crowd erupts in a massive ovation as Scherzer walks toward the dugout pounding at his heart and pointing to the stands above the Jays’ dugout.
Varland is making his 15th appearance of the post-season, setting a major-league record for a single playoff year. He’s been great and he’s been not great, having allowed just 16 base runners in 15 1/3 innings, with 17 strikeouts, but four home runs.
Varland gets flyouts from Will Smith and Freddie Freeman to end the threat. We'll see if he's back out there for the sixth at only nine pitches. The Blue Jays still have Shane Bieber waiting in the wings.
Scherzer got a standing ovation as he exited. He had a rough regular season, but rose to the occasion for Toronto multiple times this postseason.
Scherzer back out for the fifth
Glasnow got a 3-1 sinker just off the middle of the plate enough for Guerrero to barely miss it. Vladdy lines out to centre to end the inning.
Max Scherzer comes back out to the mound for the fifth after barely surviving the inning before with the Blue Jays on top 3-1.
Vlad Jr. works a 3-1 count, but then hits a middle-middle sinker to the outfield for the third out. That could have been so, so much worse for the Dodgers.
Chaos in Toronto
Uh, well, things have gotten absolutely loopy here north of the border. Justin Wrobleski plunks Andres Giménez after missing up and in two times previously. Giménez, frustrated, chirps back at Wrobleski. The benches clear for what has to be the first time in the history of a World Series Game 7.
After a whole lot of yelling, things eventually settled down, and nobody was ejected. Both bullpens, which are sure to feature prominently tonight, sprinted out there, wasting precious energy.
Wrobleski's night is now done, as Glasnow is on for Vlad with two on and two out.
And now Springer hits a comeback off Wrobleski to put two on and one out for the dangerous part of the Blue Jays order. Wrobleski will stay in to face the left-handed Nathan Lukes, but Roberts has now allowed both of his pitchers to stay too late in this game.
Tyler Glasnow appears ready to enter to face Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
Warnings have been issued to both benches, and we're back underway with a runner on first and one out. Wrobleski, a left-hander, will now face George Springer in another curious decision from Dave Roberts this game.
Varsho's incredible diving catch keeps Jays in front
Daulton Varsho makes an incredible diving catch on a sinking liner by Teoscar Hernández. It was a do-or-die play on a ball that could have been an inside-the-park grand slam had it gotten by the gold glover. Instead, it was just a sacrifice fly that got the Dodgers on the board, cutting the Blue Jays’ lead to 3-1 in the top of the fourth.
The Blue Jays played with fire having Max Scherzer continue in the fourth inning, but a tremendous diving grab by Vladimir Guerrero Jr. on a Tommy Edman liner — the fourth line drive hit off Scherzer in the inning — winds up being the third out.
The Jays escape — barely — with a 3-1 lead.
Blue Jays manager John Schneider that Scherzer will be back out there for the fifth. Again, we'll see if he's allowed to face Ohtani.
Fans adorn Blue Jays onesies at Nathan Phillips Square
The World Series has brought so much excitement to Toronto — some birds are even heading north for the winter.
Matthew Reynolds and Kristen Yansick are from Buffalo, New York and bought onesies that look like blue jays over the summer.
Before buying the outfits, Reynolds thought to himself, “What if one day, we happen to be in Toronto on Halloween?”
Months later, he was in bed looking at the Jays World Series schedule and realized game 7 would fall on Nov. 1.
“It worked out perfectly,” Yansick said. “It’s been worth the week of sleep deprivation to stay up and watch the games.”
The couple booked the trip and came into the city on Halloween, then decided to book a hotel room for a second night to stick around for Game 7.
Though they’re from south of the border, both Reynolds and Yansick are Jays fans and said they watched many of the players work their way up from the minor leagues through the Buffalo Bisons.
“It’s pretty cool, we’ll turn on the TV and say, ‘remember that guy we paid 15 bucks to go see? Yeah, Davis Schneider and Nathan Lukes made the team,’” Reynolds said.
Max Muncy walks to load the bases with one out. Here comes Teoscar Hernández with a chance to issue a full response for the Dodgers.
The Dodgers have two baserunners with nobody out.
Will Smith leads off the fourth with a double, and Freeman follows with a single.
It's 3-0 Jays heading to the fourth.
Wrobleski gets out of the third with a lineout from Kirk and a strikeout for Varsho.
Still one out in the third.
Justin Wrobleski is pitching now. Addison Barger greets him with a single to center field.
Blue Jays 3, Dodgers 0
Bo Bichette makes 'em pay. With one monstrous swing, it's 3-0 Blue Jays.
Bichette got all of an Ohtani slider that didn't quite slide, and everybody knew it. Bichette watches it fly as Rogers Centre erupts.
The Jays have the lead in Game 7. And that'll do it for Ohtani, who had a rough time on the mound in this one.
Nathan Lukes lays down a sacrifice bunt to advance the runner. And then a wild pitch lets Springer get to third.
Vlad Jr. is at the plate ... or not. He's being intentionally walked. One out.
Another 1-2-3 inning from Scherzer in the third. Hernandez and Ohtani made good contact, sandwiched around a strikeout from Rojas, but both balls stayed in the park, and that's nine straight outs from the 41-year-old
Blue Jays waste another opportunity
Giménez strikes out on a 99-m.p.h. fastball to leave the bases loaded in the second inning. You never know how many opportunities you’re going to get in a Game 7, and you never know how long you’re going to hold the opposition down.
The Jays are doing a good job of wearing Ohtani down, — he’s thrown 43 pitches — but that’s not the goal tonight, he was never going to get deep into this game.
That was the first time this year Shohei Ohtani faced a batter with the bases loaded.
Ohtani through two scoreless ... barely
Ohtani's fastball velocity is actually up compared to his season average, but he's definitely lacking a certain crispness, particularly in regard to command. The Jays have worked a lot of deep counts in the early going, which is somewhat out of character for an offense that has been extremely aggressive early in counts.
Twice in the second inning Toronto probably would've scraped a run across if not for Bo Bichette's bum knee. The injured second baseman probably goes first to third on Addison Barger's no-out single and scores two batters later on Daulton Varsho's flyout to right. A healthy Bichette also would've rounded third on Ernie Clement's two-out single, but he had to pull up at third.
Then Ohtani punched out Andres Gimenez to end the threat.
Clement loads the bases for Gimenez in second
Ernie Clement extends his post-season hit streak to a franchise-record 13 games with a single to right field, but with Bo Bichette and his bad knee on second base, it only advances the runner 90 feet.
The Blue Jays have the bases loaded in the bottom of the second, but two out and Andrés Giménez at the plate. The nine-hitter had a couple of big hits in the ALCS against Seattle, but is hitting just .130 in the World Series.
Shohei Ohtani just blew 99 mph past Andrés Giménez and let out a roar after getting out of the jam.
Tyler Glasnow is moving around down in the bullpen, but hasn't started warming up yet.
Tyler Glasnow had his jacket off was moving around in the Dodgers' bullpen. Not throwing yet, but Shohei Ohtani's command hasn't been there so far.
The Blue Jays have something cooking with two on and no outs in the 2nd!
Tommy Edman hits another deep fly ball for the Dodgers, this one 101.3 mph, but it stays in the park to give Max Scherzer his third out of the second inning. The veteran is at only 20 pitches, but this is the single game where that really doesn't matter. The odds of Toronto letting him go more than two times through the order are slim to nil.
Shohei Ohtani gets his first strikeout of the game and now here comes Vladimir Guerrero Jr
Here's that Vlad Jr. play, which likely saved a run for the Blue Jays, given that Ohtani probably reaches third if the ball gets through to right field.
It's a quick turnaround going from third base to the dugout to the mound. Looks like he's getting a little extra time to warm up.
Freddie Freemand flies out and Mookie Betts grounds out to strand Ohtani as Scherzer posts a scoreless first inning.
We could be seeing at least three starting pitchers from each team this game.
Paul Molitor and Jack Morris throw out the first pitch, which is certainly a choice by the Blue Jays given that the latter was was suspended nearly a month from his job as a Tigers broadcaster after using a racist accent during a Shohei Ohtani at-bat in 2021.
This was a good Canadian national anthem.
