World Series program

The2025 World Series (branded as the2025 World Series presented by Capital One) was thechampionship series ofMajor League Baseball's (MLB)2025 season. The 121st edition of the World Series, it was abest-of-seven playoff between theNational League (NL)champion anddefending World Series championLos Angeles Dodgers and theAmerican League (AL)championToronto Blue Jays. The series was played from October 24 to November 1.[a] The Dodgers defeated the Blue Jays in seven games to win their second consecutive World Series and ninth overall. They became MLB's first back-to-back champions since2000, the first from the NL since1976, and the eighth franchise to win back-to-back titles.[3] DodgerspitcherYoshinobu Yamamoto was named theWorld Series MVP, recording threewins and a 1.02ERA.

Both teams reached the playoffs by winning their respective divisions; the Dodgers won theNational League West for the 12th time in 13 seasons, while the Blue Jays won theAmerican League East for the first time since2015. In the2025 postseason, the Dodgers went 9-1 in the NL playoffs, while the Blue Jays earned a first-round bye and went 7-4 in the AL. The Blue Jays made their third World Series appearance, and their first in 32 years, after their back-to-back titles in1992 and1993. The Dodgers were favored heading into the Series, but the Blue Jays hadhome-field advantage due to their better regular-season record.

The series was closely contested throughout between both clubs. In Game 1, the Blue Jays scored nine runs in the sixth inning to win uncontested. The Dodgers responded in Game 2 with a one-runcomplete game by Yamamoto. The 18-inning Game 3 was the second-longest game in World Series history by time;Freddie Freeman hit awalk-off home run for the second World Series in a row. However, the Blue Jays seized control with two straight wins in Los Angeles, as the Dodgersbullpen struggled. Back in Toronto, Yamamoto pitching six innings of one-run ball and a critical base-run mistake by Addison Barger tied the series for the final time to forcea deciding game. Game 7 was the sixth World Series Game 7 to go into extra innings. With Toronto two outs away from the title,Miguel Rojas tied the game with a solo home run.Will Smith then hit the go-ahead home run in the eleventh. One day after throwing 96 pitches, Yamamoto pitched the final2+2⁄3 innings to clinch the title for Los Angeles.

The series was televised byFox in the United States and bySportsnet in Canada. The series averaged 16.1 million viewers in the U.S., making it the most-watched World Series since 2017. Game 7 was the most-watched World Series game since Game 7 in1991, with at least 51 million viewers across the U.S., Canada, and Japan.

Several commentators have called the 2025 Series one of the greatest World Series of all time,[4][5] and itsGame 7 one of the greatest World Series games of all time.[6][7] Several World Series records were broken, including the first pinch-hitgrand slam (Addison Barger, Game 1); the most times reaching base (9) and the most intentional walks (4) for a player in a game (Shohei Ohtani, Game 3); the mostinnings pitched (73.0) by a team in a best-of-seven matchup (both teams);[8] and the most innings caught in a single Series (Will Smith). In addition,Ernie Clement set the record for the most hits for a player in a single postseason (30). Following the series, several sports outlets hailed the Dodgers as adynasty.[9][10][11]

The 2025 World Series logo returned to the classic, scripted white "World Series" wordmark in cursive, similar to the one used across 14 consecutive World Series logos from1987 to2000.[12] This was the ninth consecutive World Series to take place in either California or Texas. This was the fifth World Series since theLeague Championship Series (LCS) round became best-of-seven in1985 that one LCS was a sweep and the other went seven games, with the seven-game-winning LCS team winning the previous four World Series.[13]

The Dodgers won two games out of three against the Blue Jays in a three-game series atDodger Stadium from August 8–10.[14][15][16] The third game of this series would have an impact on the World Series, as the Dodgers blew a late-game lead in the eighth and a tie in the ninth; had they won that game, and the rest of the season played out the same, the Dodgers would have had home field advantage in the World Series instead of Toronto, who would have finished second in the AL East behind the Yankees and would have had a tougher road through the postseason. This World Series marked the first postseason meeting between the Blue Jays and the Dodgers.[17] It also marked the first meeting between teams from Toronto and Los Angeles in a postseason series since the1993 Stanley Cup playoffs.[18]

Dodgers’ and Blue Jays’ relievers wore “51” patches on their hats in honor of Dodgers’ relieverAlex Vesia, who was away from the team during the World Series to allow him and his wife, Kayla, time to "navigate a deeply personal family matter," according to a team statement.[19][20] It was later announced by Vesia on social media that the couple's newborn daughter had died on October 26.[21]

Los Angeles Dodgers

[edit]

Two-way playerShohei Ohtani won the 2025NLCS MVP with a three-home-run, six-inning, ten-strikeout, zero-runs-allowed performance in Game 4.

The Dodgers solidified their championship roster from theprevious season by adding free agents starting pitcherBlake Snell, relieverTanner Scott, and winning the bid to sign Japanese phenomRoki Sasaki, while also re-signingTeoscar Hernández andBlake Treinen. As heavy favorites to repeat,[22] the Dodgers became the first defending World Series champion to begin their season 8–0, besting the previous record held by the1933 Yankees, who started their season 7–0.[23] The Dodgers had a 56–32 record with a nine-game lead in theNational League West on July 3. However, from July 4 through September 6, the Dodgers experienced their worst 54-game stretch (22–32) ofDave Roberts' tenure as team manager (2016–present).[24] At the heart of their struggles was an unreliable bullpen, including hitting rock bottom on a September 6 walk-off loss to Baltimore whereYoshinobu Yamamoto did not allow a hit for8+2⁄3 innings. The bullpen could not get the final out and ended up blowing a 3–0 lead.[25][26][27] They rebounded towards the end of the season, winning five of their last six regular season series,[28] posting a 93–69 record and winning the NL West division for the fourth consecutive season and the 12th time in the last 13 seasons (2013–2020,2022–2025).[29] At theAll-Star game,Freddie Freeman,Shohei Ohtani, andWill Smith were fan-voted starters, while Yamamoto was an MLB selection andClayton Kershaw, playing in his last season, was the "legend pick".[30]

As the third-best division winner by record, the Dodgers hosted and swept the sixth-seededCincinnati Reds in theWild Card Series in two games.[31] They then defeated the second-seededPhiladelphia Phillies in four games in theNational League Division Series, highlighted by an errant throw byOrion Kerkering that gave the Dodgers the series walk-off win.[32] In theNational League Championship Series, they dispatched the postseason's overall top seed in theMilwaukee Brewers in a four-game sweep.[33] They allowed just four runs in the series and it was their first sweep in a seven-game series since sweeping theNew York Yankees in the1963 World Series. After hitting three home runs and pitching six shutout innings with ten strikeouts in the decisive Game 4 of the NLCS, Ohtani won theNLCS MVP Award.[34] Unlike the 2024 team, which was reliant on relief pitching, the 2025 Dodgers' team strength was their starting pitchers, due to the signing of Snell, a return to pitching from two-way superstar Ohtani, a healthy second half of the season fromTyler Glasnow (who was absent from the team's playoff run the previous year due to an elbow injury), and a full season of Yoshinobu Yamamoto; providing depth were alsoEmmet Sheehan and Clayton Kershaw, both of whom were productive throughout the season. Throughout the postseason, the staff pitched into the sixth inning in every start but one and did not allow more than three earned runs. The Dodgers entered the World Series winners of 24 of their previous 30 games (regular season and playoffs).

This was the Dodgers' 23rd World Series appearance and the fifth in nine seasons (2017,2018,2020,2024, 2025).[35] They were the first reigning World Series champion to reach the World Series since the2009 Phillies and were looking to become the first repeat champions since the1998–2000 Yankees, as well as the first in the National League to repeat since the1975–1976 Reds.[36]

Toronto Blue Jays

[edit]

Vladimir Guerrero Jr., the 2025ALCS MVP, hit six home runs prior to the World Series this postseason.

The Blue Jays opened 2025 looking to improve on their dismal2024 last-place season, which had been their first losing season since2019. In the off-season, their most significant signing was not a player acquisition, but the hiring of new hitting coachDavid Popkins. Popkins's tailored each player's approach to their natural strengths, and put more emphasize on putting the ball in play; under Popkins, virtually every hitter from the 2024 team improved their numbers.[37][38] The other significant signing happened in April, when the team extended star playerVladimir Guerrero Jr., who was set to become a free agent at season's end, to a 14-year, $500 million contract.[39] The Blue Jays started the season .500 over the first two months. They did not sustain success until June, when they won eight of ten games to start the month. From June 29 through July 8, they won ten straight games, including a four-game sweep of theNew York Yankees at theRogers Centre. Their sudden hot play, coupled with a Yankees' swoon, saw the Blue Jays take the lead in theAmerican League East on July 3, a division they had once trailed by eight games in late May. At the 2025 All-Star game, Guerrero Jr. was named a starter, and catcherAlejandro Kirk was selected as a reserve.[40] After the All-Star break, the Blue Jays won eight of nine games, further expanding their lead in the AL East over New York. An injury toBo Bichette and a late September surge from the Yankees threatened Toronto's AL East lead,[41] but they defeated theTampa Bay Rays on the last day of the season, securing their first AL East division title since2015.[42] The Blue Jays and Yankees finished tied, but by virtue of their 8–5 regular season head-to-head record against New York, Toronto won the division.[43]

With a division title won, the Blue Jays also earned a first-round bye and the top seed in the American League.[44] In theAmerican League Division Series, they met the fourth-seeded Yankees for the first postseason matchup between the division rivals, where they won the series in four games.[45] Their Game 1 win ended a six-game postseason losing streak and Guerrero Jr. hit the team's first ever postseason grand slam in blowout Game 2 win.[46] In theAmerican League Championship Series, they came back from a two-games-to-none series deficit against the second-seededSeattle Mariners in seven games after being eight outs away from elimination in Game 7, highlighted by a seventh inningGeorge Springer go-ahead three-run home run, to reach the World Series for the first time since their1993 championship season.[47][48] Guerrero Jr. won theALCS MVP, as he altogether in the postseason had more home runs (six) than strikeouts (three).[49] As a team, the Blue Jaysslugged 0.523 in 11 games prior to the World Series.[50]

Blue Jays' bench coachDon Mattingly, the manager for the Dodgers from 2011 to 2015 and bench coach from 2008 to 2010, reached his first World Series after 34 years in Major League Baseball.[51]

The Blue Jays won their previous two World Series, in1992 and1993. They were looking to win their third World Series title and Toronto's first championship in one of the"Big Four" North American professional sports leagues since theToronto Raptors won the2019 NBA Finals, as well as their first under current managerJohn Schneider. The Raptors andToronto Maple Leafs changed the times of some of their games to avoid conflict with the World Series.[52]

Game 1 featured startersBlake Snell for the Dodgers andTrey Yesavage for the Blue Jays.[60] Singer and musicianPharrell Williams performed prior to the game while gospel choirVoices of Fire sang the American and Canadian national anthems accompanied by the Color of Noise Orchestra and also performed with Williams.[61]Cito Gaston, the manager of the1992 and1993 World Series champions, threw theceremonial first pitch.[62]Bo Bichette, the Blue Jays' starting shortstop who last played on September 6, returned to the lineup as thesecond baseman, his first MLB appearance at the position.[63]

After Snell retired the first two Blue Jays,Vladimir Guerrero Jr,Bo Bichette, andAlejandro Kirk proceeded to load the bases beforeDaulton Varsho flied out to end the short-lived threat. In the top of the second inning, Yesavage allowed two runners to reach beforeEnrique Hernández'ssingle scoredTeoscar Hernández and gave the Dodgers a 1–0 lead. ATommy Edman infield single proceeded to load the bases with just one out, but Yesavage managed to escape the jam, ending with aShohei Ohtani groundout. In the bottom half of the inning, a base-running mistake led to an inning-ending 1–3–5 putout onErnie Clement. After Springer hit a ground ball that Snell could not convert into a force at first, he then threw to third base, where Clement was tagged out. In the third, Yesavage walkedMookie Betts andFreddie Freeman to lead off the inning beforeWill Smith's single scored Betts to make the score 2–0. However, Freeman was thrown out trying to advance to third, which helped Yesavage get out of the inning with just the one run allowed. In the bottom of the fourth inning, Daulton Varsho hit a two-run home run to tie the game 2–2 after Kirk led off with a single. Yesavage's outing ended after pitching four innings, allowing four hits, two runs, and walking three batters while striking out five.

In the bottom of the sixth inning, Bichette led off with a walk, Kirk singled, and Varsho was hit by a pitch. The Dodgers then turned to their bullpen inEmmet Sheehan, but Ernie Clement's single scoredIsiah Kiner-Falefa (pinch-running for Bichette) to take a 3–2 lead.Nathan Lukes then drew a walk, scoring Kirk, andAndrés Giménez singled to extend the lead to three.Anthony Banda was then brought in to deal with the top of the order afterGeorge Springer grounded into a fielder's choice, but pinch hitterAddison Barger hit agrand slam, giving the Jays a 9–2 lead. Kirk then hit a two-run home run to center field to increase the lead to 11–2. Barger's slam was the first pinch-hit grand slam in World Series history,[64][65][66] part of a nine-run inning for the home team, one shy of the World Series record for runs in an inning.[67]

In the top of the seventh inning, Shohei Ohtani hit a two-run home run to right field to cut the Blue Jays' lead to 11–4, joiningHideki Matsui (2003) as the only Japanese-born players to hit a home run in a World Series.[68] Blue Jays pitcherEric Lauer finished the game by striking out Betts as the Jays took Game 1.[69] Blue Jays' fans chanted “we don’t need you” at Ohtani late in the game, as this was a reference to the Blue Jays near signing of Ohtani during the 2023-24 off-season.[70]

Singer-songwriterJP Saxe sang the Canadian national anthem while country singerBrad Paisley sang the United States national anthem.[80] Coincidentally, Paisley also sang the national anthem for the 18-inning World Series game in2018.[81]Hideo Nomo threw out the ceremonial first pitch.[82]Max Scherzer started Game 3 for the Blue Jays whileTyler Glasnow started for the Dodgers.[83] Scherzer was the first pitcher ever to start a World Series game for four different teams.[84]

In the top of the second inning,Bo Bichette was picked off first base when a pitch that missed the strike zone and appeared to be ball four was called a strike anyway.[85] In the bottom of the second inning, the Dodgers scored first with a solo home run byTeoscar Hernández. In the bottom of the third inning,Shohei Ohtani homered to extend the lead to 2–0. In the top of the fourth inning,Alejandro Kirk hit a three-run home run to take a 3–2 lead for the Blue Jays.Andrés Giménez then hit a sacrifice fly to center field, extending the lead to 4–2. Glasnow pitched4+2⁄3 innings, allowing five hits, four runs, and walking only one batter while striking out five. Scherzer pitched4+1⁄3 innings, allowing five hits, two runs, and walking only one batter while striking out three. FacingMason Fluharty in the fifth inning, Ohtani hit an RBI double and scored on a single byFreddie Freeman to tie the game at 4–4. A ground ball hit byBo Bichette in the top of the seventh inning ricocheted away from Teoscar Hernandez, allowingVladimir Guerrero Jr. to score from first base, retaking a 5–4 lead. In the bottom of the seventh inning, Ohtani hit his second home run to tie the game at 5–5, becoming just the second Major League player (and the first sinceFrank Isbell in Game 5 of the1906 World Series) to get four extra-base hits in a single postseason game.Roki Sasaki got out of a jam in the top of the eighth inning by gettingNathan Lukes to ground out to first base.[86] In the top of the tenth inning,Ty France hit a two-out single against the Dodgers'Emmet Sheehan, but was subsequently thrown out at home plate after trying to score onNathan Lukes' double. In the top of the 12th inning, afterEmmet Sheehan loaded the bases,Clayton Kershaw came in and escaped a two-out, bases-loaded jam to keep the game tied, which would ultimately turn out to be his last career appearance.[87][88]

In the bottom of the 13th inning, afterEric Lauer loaded the bases with two outs by intentionally walking Ohtani and Betts, Lauer escaped a bases-loaded jam when Freeman flied out to center fielderDaulton Varsho. Neither team scored until Freddie Freeman hit a walk-off home run offBrendon Little leading off the bottom of the 18th inning for the Dodgers to take Game 3 and a 2–1 series lead.[89][90] Freeman's home run was a mirror toMax Muncy's in Game 3 of the2018 World Series, which also went 18 innings.[91] With his walk-off home run, Freeman became the first player to accomplish this feat in consecutive World Series, after his grand-slam walk-off in Game 1 of the2024 World Series.[92] It was also his third career walk-off postseason hit, tying him withDavid Ortiz andCarlos Correa for the most in MLB history.[93] Dodgers relieverWill Klein, who entered the game in the 15th inning, got the win by pitching four shutout innings.[94][95]

Several World Series records were broken in Game 3. The teams combined to use 19 pitchers (ten for the Dodgers and nine for the Blue Jays), throwing a combined 609 pitches. A total of 37 men were left on base (19 for the Blue Jays, 18 for the Dodgers).[96] Ohtani reached base nine times (becoming just the fourth player to accomplish this in a single game, and the first sinceStan Hack in 1942) and was intentionally walked four times, both World Series records.[97][98] Six outs were recorded on the base paths, which also shattered a World Series record.[99]

Game 3 reached 18 innings, tying it with the2005 NLDS Game 4,2014 NLDS Game 2,2018 World Series Game 3, and2022 ALDS Game 3 asthe longest postseason games in MLB history in terms of innings.[100] The game lasted six hours and 39 minutes, making it the second-longest postseason game timewise, behind the aforementioned Game 3 of the 2018 World Series.

Game 6 featured a rematch of the series'Game 2 starting pitchers,Kevin Gausman of the Blue Jays andYoshinobu Yamamoto of the Dodgers.[112] After missing the previous two games,George Springer returned to the Blue Jays' starting lineup for Game 6.[113] The Dodgers scored first in the third inning after a double byTommy Edman, an intentional walk toShohei Ohtani, and an RBI double byWill Smith. Gausman loaded the bases with a walk toFreddie Freeman, andMookie Betts drove in two runs with a single to extend the Dodgers' lead to 3–0. In the bottom of the third inning, the Blue Jays cut the Dodgers' lead to 3–1 whenGeorge Springer hit an RBI single, scoringAddison Barger. Gausman pitched six innings, allowing three hits, three runs, and walking two batters while striking out eight. Yamamoto pitched six innings, allowing five hits, one run, and walking one batter while striking out six. He was succeeded by relieversJustin Wrobleski andRoki Sasaki, who combined for six outs.[114]

The Blue Jays began building momentum in the bottom of the ninth whenAlejandro Kirk was hit by an 0–2 pitch to lead off the inning. Barger then hit a long fly ball to left-center which became lodged in the padding at the base of the outfield wall. This resulted in a dead-ballground-rule double, preventing pinch-runner Myles Straw from scoring and leaving the runners at second and third with no outs. Even so, Toronto still had the tying runs in scoring position and could even secure their first championship in 32 years right there with a home run. However,Tyler Glasnow promptly came into the game to replace Sasaki, got a quick pop-out off the bat ofErnie Clement, and then got the final two outs whenAndrés Giménez lined into a double play. Left fielderEnrique Hernández caught the liner and one-hopped the ball to second basemanMiguel Rojas, doubling Barger off second base and securing Game 6 for the Dodgers to force a winner-take-all Game 7.[115]

Pia Toscano sang the American national anthem andNoah Reid sang the Canadian national anthem.[118]Jack Morris andPaul Molitor threw out the ceremonial first pitch.[119] Blue Jays' Game 7 starterMax Scherzer was matched against two-way playerShohei Ohtani, making his first start ever on three days’ rest.[120] Scherzer became the oldest pitcher to start a winner-take-allWorld Series game.[121] Coincidentally, Scherzer also started in the last Game 7 of a World Series in2019, while a member of theWashington Nationals.[122]

In the bottom of the second inning, Ohtani escaped a two-out bases-loaded jam by striking outAndrés Giménez to keep the game scoreless. In the bottom of the third inning, a single byGeorge Springer and a walk toVladimir Guerrero Jr. preceded a three-run home run byBo Bichette to give the Blue Jays a 3–0 lead. Ohtani pitched2+1⁄3 innings, allowing five hits, three runs, and walking two batters while striking out three. The Dodgers loaded the bases in the top of the fourth inning before Blue Jays center fielderDaulton Varsho made a diving catch on a ball hit byTeoscar Hernández;Will Smith scored on thesacrifice fly but the catch saved further damage. The inning ended with another diving catch by Guerrero Jr. on a line drive hit byTommy Edman.

In the bottom of the fourth inning with one out, Dodger relieverJustin Wrobleski nearly hit Giménez with two inside pitches – the second of which Giménez appeared to throw his arm at intentionally in an attempt to get hit[123] – before a third inside pitch did hit Giménez, and resulted in abenches-clearing incident when Giménez argued with Wrobleski. Wrobleski allowed a single but eventually finished the inning without allowing a run. Scherzer allowed a one-out single in the fifth inning before exiting; he pitched4+1⁄3 innings, allowing four hits, one run, and walking one batter while striking out three. He was relieved byLouis Varland, who with his 15th appearance of the playoffs set a record for most pitching appearances in a single postseason.[124] Varland allowed another hit but also escaped the jam without allowing a run. In the top of the sixth inning, the first two Dodgers reached base off Jays relieverChris Bassitt, withMookie Betts eventually scoring on sacrifice fly by Edman to cut the Blue Jays' lead to 3–2. The Jays immediately answered in the bottom of the inning, whenErnie Clement led off with a single against Game 3 starterTyler Glasnow, stole second, and scored on a Giménez RBI double to extend the lead to 4–2.[125] The Dodgers' attempt to respond in the seventh inning was thwarted whenFreddie Freeman grounded into a3-6-3 double play initiated by Guerrero Jr.

In the top of the eighth inning,Max Muncy hit a solo home run off Game 5 starterTrey Yesavage to cut the Dodgers' deficit to 4–3, which prompted the Jays to bring in closerJeff Hoffman for the four-out save.[126][127] Ernie Clement hit a leadoff double offEmmet Sheehan in the bottom of the eighth inning, setting a record for hits in aMLB postseason with 30.[128] However, Clement was stranded at second and Toronto couldn’t capitalize off the leadoff double. In the top of the ninth inning, with the Blue Jays two outs from a championship,Miguel Rojas hit a one-out home run off of Hoffman to tie the game at 4–4. Rojas, who had been put in the line-up forAndy Pages after Game 5, had not had a hit since theWild Card Series one month earlier. Rojas became the first player in MLB history with a game-tying home run in the ninth inning or later of a World Series Game 7.[129] According to ESPN Insights, the Blue Jays had a 91.7 percent chance to win Game 7 before the homer.[130][131]

In the bottom of the ninth inning, Snell attempted to force the game into extra innings. Guerrero Jr. flied out to center on a 3–0 count before Bichette singled and waspinch-run for byIsiah Kiner-Falefa.Addison Barger drew a walk to getAlejandro Kirk to the plate; the Dodgers countered by replacing Snell withYoshinobu Yamamoto, who had thrown 96 pitches the previous night. On the second pitch, Kirk washit in the arm to bringDaulton Varsho to the plate with the bases loaded and one out. With the infield in, Varsho hit a grounder to second baseman Rojas, who stumbled as he fielded the ball but recovered to throw to Smith in time toforce out Kiner-Falefa at home for the second out. The Blue Jays unsuccessfullychallenged the call; the replay confirmed Smith's foot touched the plate just before Kiner-Falefa's foot slid in.[132] After the game, Kiner-Falefa was criticized for not taking a biggerlead off of third base; he explained that the coaches instructed him to stay close to third base to avoid getting doubled off at third in the event of a line drive,[133] as he represented the winning run with the bases loaded and one out in the bottom of the ninth.[134][135][136] According toSportsnet's Ben Nicholson-Smith, Kiner-Falefa was subjected to vitriolic online abuse, including threats to “break his legs".[137] Clement came up with two out and the bases loaded and hit a fly ball to thewarning track in left-center field, but Dodgers center fielderAndy Pages, inserted as a defensive replacement before the prior at bat, ranged over and made the catch while colliding with Hernández to escape the jam. This became the sixth winner-take-all World Series game to go to extra innings, and the first since2016.[117]

Seranthony Domínguez was sent to pitch for the Jays in the 10th.Mookie Betts drew a one-out walk beforeMax Muncy delivered a single andTeoscar Hernández drew a walk to load the bases, but the Jays got out of the jam with their own force out at home plate on a grounder hit by Pages, followed by a grounder to Guerrero Jr. byEnrique Hernández on which acovering Domínguez was just able to beat him to first base. With another chance to secure a walk-off win, the Blue Jays instead went down in order to send the game to the 11th inning to make it the first Game 7 to go past the tenth since1997 and the third overall.Shane Bieber pitched for Toronto in the 11th, andWill Smith hit a two-out home run off Bieber to give Los Angeles a 5–4 lead, also becoming the first player to hit an extra-inning home run in a Game 7.[138] In the bottom of the 11th, Guerrero Jr. lined a leadoff double to left before Kiner-Falefa laid down asacrifice bunt to advance Guerrero to third base with one out. Barger then drew a walk to set up Kirk at the plate with runners on the corners. On an 0–2 pitch, Kirk hit abroken-bat ground ball to Dodger shortstop Betts, who stepped on second and threw to Freeman at first to complete thedouble play to end the game and series.[127] The plate appearances for Barger and Kirk were baseball’s firstgolden pitches—a situation where either team could win a championship on that pitch—since the 2016 World Series. Toronto went 3-for-17 with runners in scoring position, tying the record for most runners stranded on base in a World Series Game 7 set in1924 by theNew York Giants.[139]

Yoshinobu Yamamoto won theWorld Series Most Valuable Player Award, the first pitcher to win the award sinceStephen Strasburg in2019.[140] Yamamoto recorded three wins and 15 strikeouts with a 1.02 ERA.[141][142] Yamamoto was the first pitcher to get three road wins in a World Series, and the second since 1968 to be credited with three wins in a World Series, joiningRandy Johnson in2001.[143] He was also the first Japanese-born player to win the award sinceHideki Matsui in2009.[144]

"It’s gonna sound like sour grapes, and I don’t really give a shit. I think the better team did not win this series."[145]

-Sportsnet analystCaleb Joseph on the postgame show after Game 7

For much of the series, Toronto outplayed Los Angeles (collecting 22 more hits, having three fewer errors, and scoring eight more runs throughout the course of the series), and were two outs away and a bases-loaded one-out situation from clinching, but could not finish the job.[146][147] The Dodgers were the first team to be out-scored in a World Series by their opponent and win the Series since the2003 Marlins.[148] Ohtani and Smith were the only Dodgers players in the Series to have anon-base plus slugging above .800, compared to six Blue Jays players above the mark, and the Dodgers batted .203 in the World Series, the lowest mark by a champion since1966.[143][149] However, the Dodgers were more resourceful, with their four wins decided by eight combined runs while the Blue Jays’ wins were more decisive. Toronto also could not find ways to outlast Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who won Games 2 and 6, and pitched the last2+2⁄3 innings for Los Angeles to win Game 7; in the Series, Yamamoto got 53 outs and allowed only 2 runs.[150][151]

Broadcasting

[edit]

Television

[edit]

MLB executives said that the 2025 World Series was the largest international broadcast operation in the history of baseball, estimating that 100 or more total cameras were used in Game 7, across four separate broadcast productions—Fox, Sportsnet, NHK, andMLB International.[152]

United States

[edit]

For the 26th straight year, the World Series was televised in the United States onFox in English and onFox Deportes in Spanish, and streamed on theFox Sports app andFox One.[153]Play-by-play announcerJoe Davis (who was the Dodgers' lead television announcer onSpectrum SportsNet LA during the regular season) andcolor analystJohn Smoltz called the English language broadcast of the games for Fox, and were joined byKen Rosenthal andTom Verducci asfield reporters.[154]Kevin Burkhardt hosted the pregame and postgame shows, joined by analystsDerek Jeter,Alex Rodriguez, andDavid Ortiz.[155]

In Spanish, play-by-play announcerAdrian Garcia Marquez and color analystEdgar Gonzalez called the series for Fox Deportes, and were joined by announcer/reporter Carlos Alvarez, reporter/analyst Jaime Motta and reporter Michelle Liendo.[155] For the second consecutive year, Game 1 also aired in Spanish onUnivision. Antonio de Valdés, Enrique Burak, Daniel Nohra, andNelson Cruz called the game. Marie Claire Harp and Daniel Schvartzman served as reporters.[156]

Canada

[edit]

In Canada, the World Series was televised in English bySportsnet and streamed onSportsnet+.[157] Play-by-play announcerDan Shulman and color analystBuck Martinez (who were the Blue Jays' lead television announcers during the regular season) called the English language broadcast of the games for Sportsnet, and were joined byHazel Mae as field reporter.Jamie Campbell hosted the pregame and postgame shows alongsideMadison Shipman andJoe Siddall.[158]

This was the first World Series to have a dedicated Canadian English-language broadcast; due to MLB rules, Canadian broadcasters were previously required tosimulcast the American telecast during the Blue Jays' postseason appearances (such as the Blue Jays' World Series appearances in1992 and1993, whereCTV simulcast theCBS coverage), which faced routine criticism from Canadian viewers. In2020, Sportsnet — a sibling property to the Blue Jays underRogers Communications which televises their regular season games — received the right to produce its own telecasts of postseason games as MLB's national Canadian broadcaster, which would allow the network to carry its "regional" production into postseason games if the Blue Jays were to advance.[158][159] Sportsnet used its own production resources, including 21 cameras and an aerial drone, to augment resources being provided by Fox Sports and MLB as part of the American production.[160]

Broadcast television networkCitytv (also owned by Rogers Communications) carried a simulcast of the U.S. Fox broadcast;[161] to protect Canadian advertising revenue, "simsub" regulations allow Canadian broadcast stations to require that feeds of U.S. stations carried by subscription television services be replaced with feeds of a Canadian channel if they are simultaneously carrying the same program.[162]

In French, play-by-play announcer Denis Casavant and color analyst Karl Gélinas called the series forTVA Sports; Casavant's long-time color analyst partner,Rodger Brulotte, was unavailable for the World Series as he was recovering from surgery to remove a cancerous tumor from his spine.[163]

Japan

[edit]

In Japan, the World Series was televised byNHK andJ Sports and streamed onSPOTV NOW.[157] NHK produced its own broadcast of the series, rather than taking the MLB International feed.[152]

Sponsorship and marketing

[edit]

The 2025 World Series was sponsored byCapital One, as part of a five-year, reported $125 million deal which began in 2022 and includes advertising in the stadium and commercials during Fox's telecasts of the games.[183]

TheJonas Brothers performance during Game 2 at Rogers Centre was presented by MLB sponsorMastercard.[184]

Throughout Game 2, an actor dressed asColonel Sanders appeared in the seating area behind home plate as part of a promotion byKFC Canada. Some viewers speculated that the spectator was acting on his own to throw off the Dodgers' Japanese players, as a reference to theCurse of the Colonel involving theHanshin Tigers ofNippon Professional Baseball, before KFC confirmed its involvement after the game. KFC isnot an official sponsor of either MLB or the Blue Jays (the latter being sponsored by Canadian rivalMary Brown's), although the chain does have a separate sponsorship agreement with Sportsnet for its postgame programming.[185][186][187]

Celebration

On November 3, the Dodgers held a victory parade starting inDowntown Los Angeles at Temple and Broadway Street eventually making its way up toDodger Stadium.[188] The highlight of the parade was whenWorld Series MVPYoshinobu Yamamoto took the microphone and stated in English "You know what? Losing is not an option", which got a loud ovation,[189] reiterating what he toldDave Roberts before the start of the World Series.[190]

Legacy

[edit]

Baseball historians and media personalitiesTim Kurkijan andBob Costas both called the 2025 World Series the greatest World Series ever,[5][191] with others callingGame 7 one of the greatest World Series games of all time.[192][193] The bat used by Miguel Rojas to hit his ninth-inning, game-tying home run, as well as the spikes worn by Will Smith when he hit his go-ahead home run and the glove used by Mookie Betts throughout the World Series, including in his series-ending double play (among other items from the Series) were sent to theNational Baseball Hall of Fame inCooperstown, New York to be put on display as part of their ‘Autumn Glory’ exhibit.[194]

The Dodgers became the first team to repeat as World Series champions since theNew York Yankees’three-peat from1998 to2000, and the first National League team to do so since theCincinnati Reds in1975 and1976.[36] This was the first Dodgers team to repeat as Series champions in franchise history as they went 0–2 in previous such opportunities in1956 and1966.[195]

The Dodgers were the fifth straight road team to win a Game 7 of a World Series, following the2014 Giants,2016 Cubs,2017 Astros, and2019 Nationals.[196] The Dodgers also became the first team to win the World Series after sweeping theLeague Championship Series (LCS) and with their opponent winning the pennant in a winner-take-all game since theDetroit Tigers did so in1984, although the Dodgers were the first to do it since the LCS went to a best-of-seven format in1985.[197] With their ninth World Series victory, they moved into athree-way tie for third most with theRed Sox andAthletics, and trailing only theCardinals and theYankees with 11 and 27 World Series victories, respectively.

OnMLB Network, Bob Costas andTom Verducci hosted a special retrospective on Game 7 in December 2025.[198][199]
