Dodgers Beat Blue Jays 3-1 to Force a World Series Game 7 as Yamamoto Wins in Toronto Again
On the night of October 31, 2025, at Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Toronto Blue Jays 3-1 in Game 6 of the World Series to tie the series at three games each, keeping the defending champions alive and sending the World Series to a winner-take-all Game 7.
Dodgers starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto allowed one run on five hits over six innings with six strikeouts, beating Toronto for the second time in a week; in Game 2 he had thrown the first World Series complete game in a decade. Blue Jays starter Kevin Gausman struck out eight, but the third inning decided the game.
In the top of the third, Tommy Edman doubled, Shohei Ohtani was intentionally walked, Will Smith hit an RBI double off the left-field wall, and after Freddie Freeman walked, Mookie Betts, dropped to the cleanup spot, hit a two-run single for a 3-0 lead. In the bottom half, Addison Barger doubled and George Springer, back after missing two games with a sore right side, hit an RBI single to make it 3-1, and neither team scored again.
The ninth inning brought a dramatic finish: Roki Sasaki hit Alejandro Kirk with a pitch, Barger's drive lodged at the base of the left-center wall for a ground-rule double, and Toronto had runners on second and third with nobody out. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts brought in Tyler Glasnow, lined up to start Game 7, who escaped on three pitches: Ernie Clement popped up, and Andres Gimenez lined to left, where Kike Hernandez ran in for the catch and threw one hop to second baseman Miguel Rojas to double off Barger and end the game. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, it was the first game-ending left field-to-second base double play in postseason history.
Game 7 was set for the night of November 1 in Toronto, with Max Scherzer starting for the Blue Jays. A Dodgers win would make them the first repeat World Series champions since the 1998 to 2000 New York Yankees.
