Dodgers Repeat as 2025 World Series Champions

The Los Angeles Dodgers repeated as World Series champions, beating the Toronto Blue Jays 5-4 in 11 innings in Game 7 to claim back-to-back titles. Miguel Rojas, playing through a reaggravated intercostal injury and after a month without a hit, launched a game-tying homer off closer Jeff Hoffman in the top of the ninth and then cut down the would‑be winning run at the plate in the bottom of the ninth to send the game to extra innings. Will Smith hit the go-ahead solo home run in the 11th inning. Yoshinobu Yamamoto was named Series MVP after throwing 2 2/3 scoreless innings of relief on minimal rest. Teammates and manager Dave Roberts hailed Rojas’ performance as a defining clutch moment. In Toronto, a father-and-son pair caught the two historic home-run balls and acknowledged swapping or returning one, joking about their multimillion-dollar value.
