A late rally turned on Miguel Rojas’ ninth-inning homer, with Yoshinobu Yamamoto sealing the title in relief to earn Series MVP.

Overview

  • Will Smith hit a go-ahead solo homer in the 11th off Shane Bieber, capping Los Angeles’ 5-4 comeback.
  • Toronto stranded the bases loaded in the ninth with one out, including a force at home and a deep fly caught by Andy Pages.
  • Shohei Ohtani started on three days’ rest and exited in the third after Bo Bichette’s three-run homer put Toronto up 3-0.
  • Max Muncy homered in the eighth off rookie Trey Yesavage, who worked in relief on short rest after his 12-strikeout Game 5.
  • Yamamoto, pitching a day after starting Game 6, finished 2 2/3 innings and induced a game-ending double play as L.A. clinched in Toronto.
