Here are the five moments that closed this epic finale.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto, already a standout in Games 2 and 6, returned in relief during the 11th inning to close out the Dodgers' title. With runners on first and third and one out, he induced a groundball to shortstop Mookie Betts.

Betts executed a textbook double play, touching second and throwing to first, clinching the Dodgers' second straight World Series. Remarkably, it was the first World Series-clinching double play since 1947, a chef's kiss ending to a nail-biting contest.

Andy Pages' Acrobatic Catch Preserves the Lead

Defensive replacement Andy Pages entered in the ninth inning with the bases loaded and one out, the tying run just 90 feet away. Ernie Clement lofted a fly ball to left-center, and Pages sprinted 121 feet at a blistering 29.2 ft/sec to make a jaw-dropping, wall-crashing catch alongside Kiké Hernández. His heroics preserved the Dodgers' lead and energized the team heading into extra innings.

Miguel Rojas Ties It With a 9th-Inning Home Run

Despite limited playing time during the postseason, No. 9 hitter Miguel Rojas delivered in the clutch. Facing Blue Jays closer Jeff Hoffman, Rojas launched a game-tying homer in the ninth inning. It was only his second career postseason home run and first since 2020, proving that role players can shine brightest on baseball's biggest stage

Bo Bichette Breaks the Scoreless Tie

The first major highlight of Game 7 came from Blue Jays infielder Bo Bichette, who crushed a three-run homer off Shohei Ohtani in the third inning.

Recovering from a knee injury that had kept him off the playoff roster, Bichette's 442-foot blast not only electrified Rogers Centre but forced Ohtani out as a pitcher. His homer proved costly for the Dodgers' strategy, punishing them for intentionally walking Guerrero earlier in the inning

Benches Empty After a High-Stakes HBP

Tensions flared in the fourth inning when Dodgers pitcher Justin Wrobleski hit Andrés Giménez with a pitch. Giménez reacted, prompting both benches to empty in a rare Game 7 confrontation. While no further action occurred, the incident is so intense that no one expected that to happen in the first few minutes.
