In a nail-biting Game 7 that went to the 11th inning, the Los Angeles Dodgers have once again hoisted the World Series trophy. They secured their second consecutive championship by defeating the Toronto Blue Jays 5-4, with catcher Will Smith delivering the decisive blow in the top of the 11th with a powerful home run. The victory was sealed when Alejandro Kirk grounded into a game-ending double play with the tying run on third base.
The Dodgers, champions of the National League, found themselves trailing early after Bo Bichette’s three-run homer in the third inning put the Blue Jays up 3-0. However, the resilient Dodgers fought back, steadily closing the gap. Solo home runs from Max Muncy and Miguel Rojas in the top of the ninth inning tied the score at 4-4, forcing extra innings. This epic win marks a significant achievement, as the Dodgers are the first team since the New York Yankees (who won three straight from 1998-2000) to win back-to-back World Series titles.
