The Series went back and forth with jaw-dropping moments in every game, from a pinch-hit grand slam in Game 1 to an 18-inning marathon in Game 3 and a walk-off homer in Game 7. Here is the complete breakdown of every stat, every player, and every key moment.
The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 4 games to 3 to win the 2025 World Series, becoming the first repeat champion since the New York Yankees won three straight titles from 1998 to 2000.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was the undisputed offensive star of the Series for Toronto. His 8 home runs and 14 RBIs were both Toronto postseason records. His two-run homer off Shohei Ohtani in Game 4 was the defining hit of the Jays’ comeback from an 18-inning loss in Game 3.
| Game | AB | H | HR | RBI | Notes |

| Game 6 | 4 | 2 | 0 | 0 | Two singles, no RBI |
| Game 7 | 3 | 1 | 0 | 0 | Single, 2 LOB |
Guerrero set the tone in Game 4 by walking into the clubhouse after the devastating 18-inning loss, seeing his teammates with heads down, and delivering an emotional speech. He then backed it up with a two-run homer the very next game that revived Toronto’s championship hopes.
| Game | AB | H | HR | RBI | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Game 1 | 4 | 1 | 0 | 2 | RBI single in 6th |
| Game 2 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0-for-4, struck out twice |

| Game 7 | 3 | 3 | 1 | 3 | 3-run HR off Ohtani in 3rd |
Bichette saved his best performance for the most important game. His 442-foot three-run homer off Ohtani in Game 7’s third inning gave Toronto a 3-0 lead and sent Rogers Centre into a frenzy. He finished the Series batting .308 with 6 RBIs.
Addison Barger’s pinch-hit grand slam in Game 1 launched the entire Series in Toronto’s favor. It was the first pinch-hit grand slam in World Series history.
He had spent the night before sleeping on the pullout couch at teammate Davis Schneider’s apartment so his own place would be available for his family attending the games. He woke up, got a heads-up he might pinch hit, worked the Trajekt pitching machine to simulate Anthony Banda’s delivery, then hit a 413-foot drive to right-center on the first pitch he saw that evening.
Barger finished the Series with 7 hits, 1 home run, and 9 RBIs — second on the team to Guerrero.

Trey Yesavage was the story of the entire postseason for Toronto. The 22-year-old rookie started Game 1, Game 5, and Game 7 and went 3-1 with a 2.50 ERA across the Series. His 12-strikeout performance in Game 5 broke Don Newcombe’s 1949 rookie World Series record of 11 strikeouts.

| Game 7 | 2.0 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 2 | ND (LAD won 5–4) |
Yesavage was just 46 days removed from his major league debut when he took the mound in Game 1. He had spent most of the season in the low minor leagues, pitching in front of 327 fans in Dunedin, Florida. By Game 5, he was striking out Shohei Ohtani in front of 52,175 fans at Dodger Stadium.

Shohei Ohtani reached base in 11 consecutive plate appearances at one stretch during the Series, a World Series record. He was intentionally walked five times by Toronto. In Game 3 alone, he reached base nine times and hit four extra-base hits across the 18-inning marathon.
| Game | AB | H | HR | RBI | BB | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Game 1 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | Struck out twice |
| Game 2 | 4 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | Double and single |

| Game 7 | 3 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | Walk, on deck when game ended |
Ohtani’s Game 3 performance was the most statistically remarkable individual game of the entire Series. He reached base nine times across 18 innings and smashed two home runs as the Dodgers outlasted Toronto 6-5 to win in the bottom of the 18th.
Will Smith’s 11th-inning solo home run in Game 7 was the decisive blow of the 2025 World Series. It was the first extra-inning home run in a winner-take-all Game 7 in World Series history.
Smith had been clutch throughout the Series, hitting .273 with 6 RBIs. He also set a Series record by catching 73 innings behind the plate — an extraordinary workload across seven hard-fought games.
His Game 7 homer came off Shane Bieber with two outs in the 11th inning. The Rogers Centre crowd of 44,713 fans went silent as the ball sailed over the left-field fence, handing Los Angeles a championship no one expected to be won in extra innings.
Miguel Rojas had barely played all postseason. Dave Roberts inserted him into Game 6 to provide a spark, and he delivered in the biggest moment imaginable.
With two outs in the ninth inning of Game 7, Toronto two outs away from its first championship since 1993, Rojas crushed a full-count slider from Jeff Hoffman over the right-field wall to tie the game at four. It was the first time in World Series history a player hit a tying home run in the ninth inning of a Game 7.
| Pitcher | G | IP | H | R | ER | BB | K | ERA | W–L |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Yoshinobu Yamamoto | 3 | 22.0 | 10 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 18 | 1.23 | 3–0 |
| Shohei Ohtani | 2 | 8.1 | 9 | 5 | 5 | 4 | 8 | 5.40 | 0–1 |
| Blake Snell | 3 | 13.0 | 14 | 8 | 8 | 7 | 16 | 5.54 | 0–2 |
| Tyler Glasnow | 3 | 9.0 | 8 | 5 | 5 | 2 | 11 | 5.00 | 0–1 |
| Roki Sasaki | 3 | 5.1 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 6 | 0.00 | 0–0 |
| Will Klein | 1 | 4.0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 3 | 0.00 | 1–0 |
Yoshinobu Yamamoto was the unquestioned ace and World Series MVP. He went 3-0 with a 1.23 ERA across three starts. In Game 2, he threw a complete game four-hitter, the first World Series complete game in a decade. He threw two consecutive complete games (Games 2 and 6) — the first pitcher to accomplish that feat since Curt Schilling in 2001.
| Game | IP | H | R | ER | BB | K | Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Game 2 | 9.0 | 4 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 7 | Win (LAD 5–1) |
| Game 6 | 7.0+ | 5 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 9 | Win (LAD 3–1) |
| Game 7 | 2.1 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 2 | Win (LAD 5–4) |
Yamamoto’s command and deceptive splitter neutralized Toronto’s lineup at every critical moment. In Game 6, his work through seven-plus innings kept the Dodgers alive. In Game 7 relief, he got the win in the final game despite a rough outing.
Blake Snell entered the Series 3-1 with a 2.42 ERA in the postseason and was considered one of the most dominant starting pitchers available. Toronto had other ideas.
The Blue Jays chased Snell in Game 1’s sixth inning, sparking the nine-run inning that led to an 11-4 romp. He finished the Series 0-2 with a 5.54 ERA. His ERA against left-handed hitters in the Series was particularly brutal — Daulton Varsho became the first left-handed batter to homer off Snell since Juan Soto in June 2024.
Toronto overwhelmed Los Angeles 11-4 in Game 1 at Rogers Centre. The game turned in the sixth inning when Addison Barger hit the first pinch-hit grand slam in World Series history off Anthony Banda.
Alejandro Kirk followed with a two-run homer, capping a nine-run inning — the third-largest single inning in Fall Classic history. Daulton Varsho started the comeback from 2-0 down with a two-run homer off Blake Snell in the fourth. The Blue Jays did not need their closer. Seranthony Domínguez pitched 1 and 1/3 scoreless innings for the win.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto silenced Rogers Centre completely, throwing the first World Series complete game in a decade. He held Toronto to four hits and one run while striking out seven. Kevin Gausman allowed five runs in six innings for the Blue Jays. Mookie Betts drove in two runs and the Dodgers won 5-1 to even the Series at one game apiece.
Shohei Ohtani hit two home runs and reached base nine times across 18 brutal innings at Dodger Stadium. The game lasted 6 hours and 39 minutes, matching the longest by innings in postseason history.
Toronto led 5-4 with two outs in the top of the seventh but a ball hit by Bo Bichette caromed off a television sound man in foul territory and allowed Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to score from first. The Dodgers tied it in the bottom of the seventh and sent the game to extras. Freddie Freeman ended it with a walk-off homer to straightaway center field off Brendon Little in the 18th. Will Klein pitched four scoreless innings for the win in the longest individual relief appearance anyone had made in the majors in years.
After the emotional devastation of Game 3, Guerrero walked into the clubhouse, saw his teammates with their heads down, and told them it was not over. He then hit a two-run homer off Shohei Ohtani pitching on just 17 hours of rest.
Shane Bieber was brilliant, pitching into the sixth and allowing just four hits and one run. Toronto’s four-run seventh inning, featuring RBI hits from Andrés Giménez, Ty France, Bo Bichette, and Addison Barger, put the game out of reach. Final: Toronto 6, Los Angeles 2.
Trey Yesavage set a World Series rookie record with 12 strikeouts across seven masterful innings at Dodger Stadium. Davis Schneider led off the game by hitting Blake Snell’s first pitch into the left-field bleachers. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. then hit Snell’s third pitch over the left-field wall, making them the first back-to-back home runs to open a World Series game.
The Blue Jays won 6-1, moved ahead three games to two, and guaranteed the Series would return to Toronto for Game 6. Yesavage’s performance was called one of the greatest ever by a rookie pitcher on baseball’s biggest stage.
The Dodgers forced a Game 7 with a 3-1 win in Toronto. Yamamoto was sharp again for seven-plus innings. The decisive play came in the bottom of the ninth when Addison Barger appeared to hit a two-run single off the left-center wall, only for the ball to become lodged in the fence — a ground-rule double that kept both runners from scoring.
With two runners at second and third and the Blue Jays trailing 3-1, Dave Roberts brought in Tyler Glasnow. Kiké Hernández then made a sensational catch in left field and fired to second base for the first game-ending double play in World Series history by an outfielder. Roberts’ decision to use Glasnow there was roundly praised as one of the boldest in-game managing moves of the postseason.
Bo Bichette’s three-run homer in the third inning off Ohtani gave Toronto a 3-0 lead. Max Muncy’s homer in the eighth made it 4-2 Toronto. Then Rojas connected in the ninth to tie it. Will Smith won it in the 11th.
The Blue Jays left 17 runners on base in the game. Their 3-for-17 performance with runners in scoring position ultimately decided the championship. Toronto manager John Schneider said afterward: “I thought we had chances to sweep them. Going back to the beginning of the Series when people were calling it David vs. Goliath, it’s not even close.”
This Toronto Blue Jays vs Dodgers matchup produced more World Series records than any in recent memory.

The Blue Jays finished the 2025 regular season 94-68 and led the American League East. They dispatched both AL wild card opponents before sweeping through the ALCS to reach their first World Series since 1993.
The Dodgers finished 93-69 and won the NL West. They swept the NLCS in four games and entered the World Series as heavy favorites with a roster valued at over $500 million. Their one-week layoff before Game 1 was cited as a possible reason for their slow start in Toronto.
Dave Roberts made two pivotal moves that defined the Dodgers’ championship. His decision to bring Glasnow in relief in the ninth inning of Game 6 rather than saving him for a Game 7 start directly produced the game-ending double play that forced the decisive game.
His choice to give Miguel Rojas a start in Games 6 and 7 — his first starts since October 6 — paid off in the most dramatic way possible. Rojas had been inserted to provide energy to a struggling lineup and responded with the tying homer in the ninth of Game 7.
John Schneider’s Blue Jays had the better team over the first five games but could not find a way to close it out. Game 7’s bullpen management, particularly the decision to use Jeff Hoffman against a right-handed pinch hitter with two outs in the ninth, was immediately second-guessed after Rojas hit his tying homer.
For the Dodgers, repeating as champions confirmed them as a dynasty. Freddie Freeman, who won his second Series title, already looked ahead and mentioned chasing the Yankees’ three consecutive titles from 1998 to 2000.
For Toronto, the near-miss stings deeply. The Blue Jays came within two outs of winning their first title since Joe Carter’s walk-off homer in 1993. Guerrero, Bichette, Yesavage, and Barger are all young enough to return and make another run. John Schneider said after the final out: “I believe in this group. We’ll be back.”
The Los Angeles Dodgers won the 2025 World Series, defeating the Toronto Blue Jays four games to three with a 5-4 win in 11 innings in Game 7.
Guerrero hit .333 with 8 home runs and 14 RBIs across seven games, setting Toronto postseason records for both categories in a single playoff run.
Yesavage recorded 12 strikeouts in Game 5, breaking Don Newcombe’s 1949 rookie World Series strikeout record of 11 and becoming the youngest pitcher ever with 10-plus strikeouts in the Fall Classic.
Will Smith hit a solo home run in the 11th inning off Shane Bieber, giving the Dodgers a 5-4 victory and their second consecutive World Series championship.
Shohei Ohtani hit two home runs and reached base nine times, and Freddie Freeman hit a walk-off homer in the 18th inning as the Dodgers outlasted the Blue Jays 6-5 in 6 hours and 39 minutes.
Addison Barger hit the first pinch-hit grand slam in Fall Classic history off Anthony Banda in the sixth inning of Game 1, sparking a nine-run inning in Toronto’s 11-4 win.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto won World Series MVP honors after going 3-0 with a 1.23 ERA across three starts, including two complete games in Games 2 and 6.
Ohtani made two pitching starts including a Game 7 start on three days’ rest and finished 0-1 with a 5.40 ERA, though he was exceptional as a hitter throughout the Series.
Rojas barely played in the postseason but was inserted by Dave Roberts in Game 6 to spark the lineup, then hit the tying home run in the ninth inning of Game 7, setting up Will Smith’s walk-off winner.
The Dodgers became the first repeat World Series champions since the New York Yankees won three consecutive titles from 1998 to 2000, ending a 25-year drought for back-to-back champions.
The Toronto Blue Jays vs Dodgers match player stats from the 2025 World Series will be studied for decades. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. put on the finest offensive postseason performance in Blue Jays history, setting franchise records with 8 home runs and 14 RBIs.
Trey Yesavage went from pitching in front of 327 fans in the minors to breaking a 76-year World Series rookie record on the biggest stage in baseball.
The Dodgers answered with Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s two complete games, Miguel Rojas coming off the bench to hit a tying homer in Game 7’s ninth inning, and Will Smith delivering the first extra-inning home run in a winner-take-all Game 7 in Series history.
Toronto came within two outs of ending a 32-year championship drought. Los Angeles proved that repeating as champions requires greatness at every level — starting pitching, bullpen management, clutch hitting, and moments that no one can predict or prepare for.
