"But the fact of the matter is the team arrived at Rogers Centre late last week just one loss away from their season coming to a crashing halt. The Dodgers staved off elimination in part by completing double plays to finish off wins in Games 6 and 7, and they also erased a deficit in the ninth inning on Saturday before going on for a victory in extras."
"The Los Angeles Dodgers won their ninth World Series title in franchise history and became MLB's first repeat champion since the New York Yankees rattled off three in a row from 1998-2000. It marked just a third time in Dodgers franchise history they won a Game 7 of the World Series. The first such instance occurred in the 1955 World Series, which was the lone title Brooklyn won. The Dodgers then repeated that accomplishment against the Minnesota Twins in 1965."
The Los Angeles Dodgers captured their ninth World Series title and became Major League Baseball's first repeat champion since the New York Yankees won three consecutive titles from 1998–2000. The victory marked only the third time the franchise won a Game 7 of the World Series, joining 1955 and 1965. The team arrived at Rogers Centre one loss from elimination but rallied, using late-inning heroics and opportunistic defense. The Dodgers completed game-ending double plays to finish both Games 6 and 7 on the road and erased a ninth-inning deficit in Game 7 before winning in extras. Kiké Hernández and Mookie Betts initiated the decisive double plays.
