Dodgers Repeat, Beat Blue Jays in Game 7

The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 5-4 in 11 innings in Game 7 of the World Series, becoming the first repeat champion in 25 years. Miguel Rojas tied the game with a ninth-inning home run after Jeff Hoffman surrendered the shot, and Will Smith delivered a two-out, 11th-inning solo homer off Shane Bieber for the go-ahead run. Yoshinobu Yamamoto worked long relief, escaping a bases-loaded jam in the ninth and earning the win, and the Dodgers used all four of their postseason starters, with Shohei Ohtani starting on three days' rest. Will Smith caught every inning of the World Series (73 innings), setting a record, and finished the series with multiple key hits. The Dodgers claimed their ninth title — their second straight and third in six years — after overcoming multiple deficits in the decisive game.
