After throwing 96 pitches in a Game Six victory one day prior, Yamamoto was entrusted with the ball with the Dodgers&#8217; season on the line.<\/p>\n<p>In 2 2\/3 innings, Yamamoto surrendered only one hit and shut the Blue Jays down. Smith hit the go-ahead home run in the 11th off <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/b\/biebesh01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=sportrelay.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-11-02_br\"><strong>Shane Bieber<\/strong><\/a>, putting the Dodgers up 5-4.<\/p>\n<h3>What Went Right for the Blue Jays<\/h3>\n<h4>Good Offensive Performance<\/h4>\n<p>The Blue Jays jumped out to a three-run lead early, and when the Dodgers threatened to come back, they tacked on another run. They were aggressive all game, going 14-for-43 and taking advantage of every mistake on the mound. They set up crucial RBI opportunities but fell short when it mattered most.<\/p>\n<h3>What Went Wrong for the Blue Jays<\/h3>\n<p>The Blue Jays allowed momentum to shift back in the Dodgers&#8217; favor at critical points in the game. They let the Dodgers scratch runs across innings, and then a couple of misplaced pitches led to home runs that put the Dodgers back in it.\u00a0 They missed chances to take the game back, compounding the problem. In the ninth inning, with the bases loaded and a tie game, they failed to plate the winning run. Ultimately, their early lead wasn&#8217;t enough to withstand the Dodgers, and they ended up on the wrong end of a historic comeback.<\/p>\n<h3>What Went Wrong for the Dodgers<\/h3>\n<h4>Ohtani&#8217;s Rough Start<\/h4>\n<p>Ohtani pitched a rough two first innings, narrowly escaping disaster. Seeing this, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/search\/search.fcgi?pid=roberda07,roberda05,roberda03,roberda06&amp;search=Dave+Roberts&amp;utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=sportrelay.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-11-02_br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Dave Roberts<\/a><\/strong> still saw fit to let him pitch the third, and the Blue Jays made them pay. Ohtani threw for 2 1\/3 innings, allowing five hits and giving up three runs. Not the start the Dodgers wanted to get out to, as they hoped Ohtani would provide them with some length.<\/p>\n<h3>Offensive Struggles<\/h3>\n<p>Before their game-changing home runs in the eighth and ninth innings, the Dodgers were struggling to bring home runners on base. They stranded runners in scoring position, when they had chances to really change the complexion of the game. Mistimed swings leading to pop-outs kept them playing catch-up through seven innings.<\/p>\n<h3>What Went Right for the Dodgers<\/h3>\n<h4>Clutch Hitting<\/h4>\n<p>The Dodgers&#8217; bats came alive in the late innings to take the game away from the Blue Jays. After trailing for much of the game, they stayed patient at the plate and capitalized. At most points during the series, Dodgers batters were playing hero ball, swinging for the fences, and in Game Seven, it worked out in their favor. Will Smith&#8217;s go-ahead homer in the 11th capped off the comeback, setting the table for Yamamoto.<\/p>\n<h4>Great Defensive Stops<\/h4>\n<p><a id=\"-1Cu8WNXSbFxZIZHJOGQnw\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/2244552412\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'-1Cu8WNXSbFxZIZHJOGQnw',sig:'u7-X1wgjeMHXkt28oR-ZgnB3CgMlYKPRptAa-RoPiqM=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'2244552412',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><br \/>\nIn the ninth with the bases loaded and one out, Miguel Rojas and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/p\/pagesan01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=sportrelay.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-11-02_br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Andy Pages<\/a><\/strong> made game-saving plays. On a ground to second, Rojas dug it out and made a great throw to home to stop the walk-off run from coming across. With two outs, Clement hit a fly ball to deep right field. Pages tracked the ball perfectly, running full speed to make the catch, even as he collided with teammate Kik\u00e9 Hernandez in the process.<\/p>\n<h4>Resilient Pitching<\/h4>\n<p>After Ohtani&#8217;s rough start, the Dodgers&#8217; pitching settled in, only allowing one more run. The bullpen kept the Blue Jays from extending the lead out of reach, giving the Dodgers a chance to storm back. Yoshinobu Yamamoto rose to the occasion on short rest in a gutsy pitching performance. He navigated a bases-loaded situation after inheriting runners from Snell. The Dodgers ace allowed a single hit before shutting the door on the Blue Jays&#8217; championship aspirations.<\/p>\n<h3>Quick Hits<\/h3>\n<p>Ernie Clement now holds the record for most hits in a single postseason (30).<\/p>\n<p>The Blue Jays&#8217; 14 runners left on base ties a record for the most in a World Series Game 7, joining the 1924 New York Giants<\/p>\n<p>Freddie Freeman&#8217;s 22-game postseason on-base streak is the longest in the Dodgers franchise history.<\/p>\n<p>The Dodgers became the fourth National League team to win back-to-back World Series titles, joining the 1907-08 <a href=\"https:\/\/sportrelay.com\/mlb\/category\/cubs\/\">Chicago Cubs<\/a>, 1921-22 <a href=\"https:\/\/sportrelay.com\/mlb\/category\/giants\/\">New York Giants<\/a>, and the 1975-76 Cincinnati Reds.<\/p>\n<p>Yamamoto became the 28th pitcher (30th occurrence) to be named Willie Mays World Series MVP.
