Dodgers Win 11th-Inning Game 7, Repeat Champions

The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 5-4 in an 11th-inning Game 7 to win the 2025 World Series, securing back-to-back championships after their 2024 title. Miguel Rojas tied the game with a ninth-inning play, Will Smith hit the go-ahead homer in the 11th, and Yoshinobu Yamamoto closed out the final outs on short rest. The victory is the Dodgers' ninth World Series crown, tying them with the Boston Red Sox and Oakland Athletics for third-most in MLB history and making them the first repeat champion in 25 years since the Yankees' late-1990s run. The series featured multiple late-game heroics and several unlikely contributors who will receive championship rings, and coverage is already framing the club as a modern dynasty. Commemorative merchandise and collector books are being released even as pundits and the club face offseason questions about roster turnover and replacing longtime stalwarts.
