Overview
- The Blue Jays and Dodgers were tied 4–4 after nine innings, sending Game 7 into extra innings with the bases empty by rule.
- Postseason extra innings do not use a runner on second, though the pitch clock and limits on mound visits and disengagements still apply.
- Since 2020, regular-season extra innings have started with a runner on second to hasten endings.
- Games reaching the 11th inning or later fell from 210 in 2019 to 102 in 2021, 100 in 2022, and 90 in 2023, according to The Sporting News.
- This World Series already included an 18-inning Game 3, and EssentiallySports reports this is only the sixth Game 7 to reach extra innings.
