Key Highlights from Game 6
- Final Score: Dodgers 3, Blue Jays 1
- Date: November 1, 2025
- Location: Rogers Centre, Toronto
- Significant Play: First postseason game-ending double play from left field to second base.
Game Overview
The Dodgers seemed to be in a tight spot as the Blue Jays threatened with a potential game-tying hit in the ninth inning. Kiké Hernández’s defensive play, however, prevented what could have been a two-run single by Andrés Giménez, turning it into a double play.
Hernández commented on the moment, stating he was initially unsure of the ball’s location as it was caught in the stadium lights. “I just kept running. It was a crazy finish,” he said.
Pitching and Scoring
Yoshinobu Yamamoto was the star for the Dodgers, pitching six solid innings with only one earned run to his name. Mookie Betts contributed significantly with a two-run single as part of a three-run third inning, which also featured a go-ahead double from Will Smith.
Despite Toronto’s George Springer returning from injury with an RBI single, the Dodgers maintained their lead throughout the game.
Crucial Moments in the Ninth Inning
As the ninth inning unfolded, the Blue Jays posed a threat with two runners on base after a ground-rule double. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts made a strategic move by bringing in Tyler Glasnow to secure the save. With a quick three-pitch sequence, Glasnow successfully closed the game.
In a significant moment, Hernández made a spectacular catch followed by a precise throw to second base, resulting in the historic double play.
Looking Ahead
The Dodgers will prepare for Game 7, where they will face a yet-to-be-determined pitcher, possibly two-way star Shohei Ohtani or Glasnow again on short rest. Meanwhile, the Blue Jays will have Max Scherzer on the mound as they attempt to clinch the World Series title.
With the series tied, the outcome of Game 7 will determine the champion, and anticipation is building for what could be a thrilling conclusion to the World Series.
