Dodgers Repeat as 2025 World Series Champions

The Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Toronto Blue Jays 5-4 in 11 innings in Game 7 to win the 2025 World Series and repeat as champions. Miguel Rojas, playing through an aggravated intercostal injury and after a month without a hit, hit a game-tying homer in the ninth and then made a critical play at the plate to extend the game. Will Smith hit the decisive go-ahead solo home run in the 11th, the first extra‑inning homer in a winner‑take‑all World Series game. Yoshinobu Yamamoto was named World Series MVP after winning Games 2, 6 and 7 and closing Game 7 with 2 2/3 scoreless innings on zero days’ rest. Two local fans, a father and son, caught the Rojas and Smith homers, drawing intense collectible interest.
