Toronto Blue Jays Face Must-Win Game 7 After Dodgers’ Victory

UPDATE: The Toronto Blue Jays are on the brink of elimination after falling to the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-1 in Game 6 of the World Series, held at the Rogers Centre in Toronto on October 27, 2025. This marks the first time in franchise history that the Blue Jays will compete in a Game 7, scheduled for Saturday night.

The loss has ignited a firestorm of reaction from U.S. media, particularly surrounding the controversial final out of the game. Baseball legend Alex Rodriguez expressed disbelief over the play, stating, “That should never have happened.” Rodriguez criticized the play at second base, where Dodgers’ Miguel Rojas tagged out Blue Jays’ Addison Barger for the game-ending double play. “Especially with (George) Springer coming up and the World Series on the line. You cannot get doubled up,” he emphasized during the MLB on Fox panel.

On the pitching front, Dodgers’ starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto demonstrated his prowess, limiting the Blue Jays to just one run and one hit over six innings while striking out six batters. Hall of Famer Derek Jeter lauded Yamamoto, stating, “The best thing for a struggling offense is a dominant, shutdown pitcher.” This performance was crucial, considering the Dodgers’ offense has struggled, scoring only six runs in their last three games before this pivotal match.

The Dodgers capitalized on a critical inning, scoring all three of their runs in just one frame—marking their first three-run inning of the World Series. Jeter noted the importance of this moment: “That’s all it took. Then they just relied on their pitching, and pitching is really what’s gotten them to this point.”

With the stakes higher than ever, the Blue Jays must regroup quickly, as they prepare for the decisive Game 7. Fans and analysts alike are eager to see if Toronto can rally and secure their first championship title.

As the clock ticks down to Saturday night’s showdown, the pressure mounts for both teams. The Blue Jays have one last opportunity to turn the tide, while the Dodgers aim to clinch the championship. Stay tuned for updates as the intensity builds toward what promises to be a thrilling finale.
