The seven-game series between the Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers is tied 3-3, with the winner of tonight\u2019s game taking home the World Series title.The Blue Jays are trying to win their third 3rd MLB title in franchise history. The other two were in 1992 and 1993.UpdatesNovember 21 minute agoMajor spot for YesavageMyles DichterThe Blue Jays rookie began the year in single-A, climbing every level before reaching the majors in September.He\u2019s now made more post-season appearances than regular-season ones \u2014 and he\u2019s been dominant in doing so.But now he\u2019s being asked for the biggest outs of his career as he enters with a two-run lead in the seventh.He couldn\u2019t have even dreamed of this scenario just a few months ago.1 minute agoBottom of the 6th: Jays get a run backJohn RietiErnie Clement tied the MLB post-season hit record to start the inning with yet another base hit.Gimenez showed bunt and got the count to 3-0. Perhaps distracted, Glasnow let Clement steal second base. Gimenez then ripped a double to score Clement.Springer struck out swinging.Gimenez advanced to third on a long fly out to centre by Nathan Lukes.But Vladdy grounded out to end the frame. 6 minutes agoClement creates breathing roomMyles DichterThe scrappy Jays infielder just launched his second hit of the game to left field.

(Evan Mitsui\/CBC)Clement, who had just stolen second, scores easily.\u201cThat\u2019s why you swing the bat!\u201d screams a fan on the telecast.It\u2019s 4-2 for the Jays.12 minutes agoNow what?Myles DichterNine outs to go, one-run lead. Who will Schneider call out of the bullpen?He has said Trey Yesavage could be available. We haven\u2019t seen Shane Bieber. Seranthony Dominguez is a coin-toss \u2014 he can be dominant, but he can also struggle badly with command.Closer Jeff Hoffman is likely ticketed for the ninth.And there\u2019s at least one more Ohtani at-bat to get through.These are the decisions that could win or lose a World Series.12 minutes agoTop of the 6th: Dodgers score againJohn RietiBassitt issued a leadoff walk to Mookie Betts and Max Muncy followed that with a base hit to put two on with nobody out.Bassitt got Teoscar Hern\u00e1ndez to ground one to the mound and threw out the runner at second.Edman\u2019s sacrifice fly scored Betts.Kike Hern\u00e1ndez slapped one through the right side of the infield to extend the inning.But Bassitt, the starter turned reliever, got Miguel Rojas to softly ground out to end the inning.15 minutes agoBassitt\u2019s first relief strugglesMyles DichterThe converted starter has been dominant out of the \u2018pen until tonight, when he struggled to miss bats and allowed the Dodgers to get within one.He had quickly turned into one of manager John Schneider\u2019s most trusted arms, and the plan may have been for him to go more than one inning.Instead, that\u2019s likely all for his night.16 minutes agoTommy Edman delivers sacrifice flyJohn RietiMookie Betts of the Los Angeles Dodgers celebrates with Enrique Hern\u00e1ndez after scoring a run against the Toronto Blue Jays during the sixth inning in Game 7 of the 2025 World Series. (Mark Blinch\/Getty Images)And the Dodgers have clawed back to make this a 3-2 ballgame. 27 minutes agoPitching change: Louis Varland gives way to Chris Bassitt John RietiChris Bassitt, who has been dominant in this series, is coming into the game for the Jays.28 minutes agoBlue Jays could use insuranceMyles DichterThe momentum from Bichette\u2019s home run and the benches-clearing fracas seems to have worn off, both for the players and the crowd.Now, as we head to the sixth inning, this is a two-run ball game, and the Jays are still 12 outs from hoisting the Commissioner\u2019s Trophy.The bullpen has been good, but a few extra runs would sure make the relievers feel a lot better about attacking Dodgers batters.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
