Dodgers Win Back-to-Back World Series in 11 Innings

The Los Angeles Dodgers clinched back-to-back World Series titles with a dramatic 5-4 Game 7 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays in 11 innings, capped by Will Smith’s 11th-inning home run after Miguel Rojas’ ninth-inning game-tying shot and an earlier solo homer by Max Muncy; Yoshinobu Yamamoto was named World Series MVP. Fans poured into bars, restaurants and streets across Los Angeles from North Hollywood to downtown and Echo Park, with fireworks and champagne-soaked celebrations documented in photo galleries. The Los Angeles Police Department issued a citywide tactical alert and closed several downtown streets ahead of expected postgame crowds. The Dodgers announced a championship parade and rally on Monday in downtown L.A. and at Dodger Stadium with ticketing and broadcast details. The rally will include final Dodger Stadium appearances and tributes for Clayton Kershaw ahead of his retirement, and celebrities including LeBron James publicly celebrated the win.
