Dodgers Win Record 18-Inning World Series Game 3 Over Blue Jays

In a historic Game 3 of the 2025 World Series, the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 6-5 in an 18-inning marathon that tied the longest game in World Series history. Freddie Freeman hit a walk-off home run in the bottom of the 18th inning to clinch the win for the Dodgers. Shohei Ohtani delivered a record-setting performance with two home runs and a total of four extra-base hits, tying a 119-year-old major league record, and reaching base nine times—a postseason record. Ohtani was intentionally walked four times, a postseason record, as the Blue Jays attempted to minimize his impact, but the Dodgers ultimately prevailed. The game featured multiple lead changes, including a go-ahead three-run homer by Toronto's Alejandro Kirk and clutch hitting by Freeman and Ohtani for the Dodgers. This thrilling contest gave the Dodgers a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series and kept their hopes alive to win the title at home for the first time since 1963.
