✅ Main takeaway:
Veteran Toronto shortstop Max Scherzer exited the game and the lead was still 3-1 in the fifth inning, and the Dodgers rallied in the sixth when Tommy Edman scored on a Mookie Betts sacrifice fly to cut the deficit to one run.
The Blue Jays came at it again, when Ernie Clement’s stolen base put him in position for Gimenez to push him into the infield with a double to right side.
As is common in World Series Game 7, both sides made frequent pitching changes, even switching to their starting pitchers from earlier in the Series.
Trey Yesavage, who started Games 1 and 5 for Toronto, gave up Muncy’s lone shot in the eighth minute, before Rojas equalized in the final moments from Jeff Hoffman.
Toronto loaded the bases in the bottom of the ninth but failed to conjure a run, and the Dodgers did the same in the 10th with expectations mounting, but both sides fouled their lines.
It was only the sixth time in history that a World Series 7 game went to extra innings, and Smith’s homer put the Dodgers within sight of the title.
The Blue Jays were on the verge of hitting or even winning the 12th inning with a walk-off, but Yoshinobu Yamamoto, the Dodgers’ winning pitcher in Games 2 and 6, pitched another win in relief.
