"The Los Angeles Dodgers battled back from an early deficit in Game 7 of the 2025 World Series and completed the improbable comeback against the Toronto Blue Jays to repeat as MLB's champions. Down to their final two outs while trailing by one run, Miguel Rojas blasted a solo home run that tied the game and ended up sending the Dodgers to extra innings."
"To get to that point, the Dodgers had to rely on Yoshinbou Yamamoto to pitch on no days of rest. He entered after Blake Snell in the ninth inning with two runners on, and escaped a bases loaded jam that sent it to extra innings. Yamamoto also pitched a scoreless 10th inning, and went back out for the 11th inning. He allowed a leadoff double to Vladimir Guerrero Jr. trying to save the game, but got the first out a bunt,"
"With Shohei Ohtani starting on short rest, he wasn't sharp, living too far out of the zone and too many pitches over the heart of the plate. Still, he was able to get through two scoreless innings and stranded the bases loaded in the second. But Ohtani went back out for the third, and that's where things quickly fell apart. He allowed a leadoff single to George Springer, then intentionally walked Guerrero Jr. with one out."
