Match #7 of the World Series. What more could you ask for?

Max Scherzer and Shohei Ohtani were on the mound. It was going great for Scherzer from the start, but Ohtani didn't have the best control over his shots.

And it paid off quickly for the Blue Jays.

Bo Bichette (who possibly cost a run earlier in the game by not being able to run as usual) hit a three-run home run in the third inning. This came after an intentional walk to Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

In the fourth inning, MadMax got himself into trouble. He loaded the bases, but his defense helped him give up just one run. He can thank Daulton Varsho and Vladdy.

Afterwards, Andres Gimenez received a shot on the wrists as several shots passed close to his hands. The result? Both teams' benches emptied.

But the Dodgers hadn't said their last word.

In the sixth, when Chris Bassitt was on the mound for the Blue Jays, he didn't have his best outing. The pitcher gave up a run on a Tommy Edman sacrifice fly.

But the Blue Jays found a way to regain a two-run lead. Ernie Clement hit his 29th homer of the series and Andres Gimenez worked Tyler Glasnow via his bunt attempts.

Glasnow forgot about Clement, who stole a base… and Andres Gimenez drove him in via a double.

Max Muncy made things interesting by hitting a home run in the eighth inning against Trey Yesavage. It was 4-3… and Jeff Hoffman was asked to go for four outs.

But he didn't. Miguel Rojas hit a home run in the ninth to make it 4-4. And suddenly, all the runners left on the paths by the Blue Jays hurt.

If the Blue Jays were going to win this one, it was going to take a winning streak. It's hard to ask for more in Game 7 of the World Series, isn't it?

In the ninth inning, the Blue Jays knocked on the door, but to no avail. The result? Extra innings.

In the 10th inning, it was the same for the Dodgers, who sent traffic to the cushions, but to no avail. In the 11th inning, it was the Dodgers' turn.

Will Smith made it 5-4 with one swing against Shane Bieber.

It made all the difference in the world, as the Blue Jays were unable to mount a comeback. The Dodgers thus won their second title in a row thanks to two straight road wins.

The Blue Jays escaped.

PMLB

  • Shohei Ohtani was allowed to take longer to come back to pitch: he was on the cushions when the offensive inning ended.

  • Vladdy played a big one defensively.

  • 30 hits for Ernie Clement: an all-time playoff record.
