In Game Four, the Blue Jays defeated the Dodgers 6–2, tying the best-of-seven series at two games apiece. For Toronto, this was a particularly exciting moment—the 2025 World Series marked their first appearance since winning back-to-back titles in 1992 and 1993.
The Dodgers entered the series as favourites, although Toronto held home-field advantage thanks to a stronger regular-season record. The series itself turned out to be tightly contested, ultimately going the full seven games.
The Dodgers went on to win the World Series in dramatic fashion. In Game Seven, the Blue Jays were leading by one run in the ninth inning when Miguel Rojas hit a one-out home run to tie the game. Toronto was unable to respond in the bottom of the inning, sending the game into extra innings.
In the 10th inning, the Dodgers loaded the bases but failed to score, while the Blue Jays went three up, three down in their half. Then, in the 11th inning, Will Smith of the Dodgers hit a two-out home run to give Los Angeles the lead. In the bottom half, the Blue Jays threatened with runners on first and third, but the game ended on a double play.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto was named World Series Most Valuable Player. He earned three wins, struck out 15 batters, and posted an impressive 1.02 earned run average. Notably, he became the first pitcher to win three road games in a single World Series, and only the second pitcher ever to record three wins in one series.
It must have been quite something to watch that game unfold live—one of those moments where a simple postcard captures the excitement of a much bigger event.
