Dodgers Force Game 7 with Thrilling 3-1 Win Over Blue Jays

UPDATE: The Los Angeles Dodgers have pushed the World Series to a decisive Game 7 after a nail-biting 3-1 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays at the Rogers Centre on July 15, 2025. This thrilling win levels the series at three games apiece, setting the stage for an electrifying showdown tomorrow night.

The tension was palpable throughout the game, but it peaked in the bottom of the ninth. With the crowd roaring, the Dodgers executed a remarkable double play to secure their place in Game 7. After a pivotal play involving Blue Jays’ shortstop Andres Gimenez and Dodgers’ left fielder Enrique Hernandez, the game was sealed in dramatic fashion.

“Game 7. Amazing,” said Hernandez, who played a crucial role in the victory. “This is what we dream of, ever since we were little kids.”

The game ended when Gimenez’s line drive was caught by Hernandez, who then threw to Miguel Rojas to tag out the Blue Jays’ Addison Barger, who had strayed too far from second base. The call was confirmed on replay, marking a historic moment as the Dodgers became the eighth team in World Series history to end a game with a double play while facing elimination.

Earlier in the game, all scoring occurred in the third inning, highlighted by a two-run single from Mookie Betts, who had been struggling but delivered when it mattered most. The Blue Jays responded with a run from George Springer, but the game was largely dominated by the pitchers, with Dodgers’ starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Blue Jays’ Kevin Gausman both performing exceptionally.

The ninth inning was filled with chaos as the Blue Jays tried to rally. Roki Sasaki, who was aiming for a two-inning save, hit catcher Alejandro Kirk, leading to a series of dramatic plays. Barger launched a powerful hit that appeared to be a game-tying inside-the-park home run but was ruled a ground-rule double after the ball lodged in the outfield padding.

Amidst the confusion, Hernandez’s quick thinking and exceptional skills turned the tide for the Dodgers. He sprinted towards the infield, capitalizing on a moment of silence as the crowd held its breath, allowing him to make a crucial catch.

“I was just anticipating him hitting the ball to the left side of the field,” Hernandez explained. “But for a split second, as Glasnow threw the ball, the crowd got quiet, and I was able to hear that the bat broke. So I just got a really good jump on the ball.”

With Game 7 looming, both teams are ready for a final showdown. The Dodgers are expected to start Shohei Ohtani, while the Blue Jays may turn to Max Scherzer in a battle that promises to deliver high stakes and intense drama. As fans gear up for what many are calling a “must-see” finale, the anticipation continues to build.

“Baseball deserves a Game 7,” Hernandez stated. “Both teams have played their butts off.”

Tomorrow night’s game will not only determine the World Series champion but will also go down in history as one of the most thrilling matchups of the season. Don’t miss it!
