Dodgers win second straight World Series in epic 11 inning Game 7 thriller

Down two with six outs left and on enemy territory, the Los Angeles Dodgers waged an epic comeback, blasting three homers down the stretch and escaping a bases-loaded jam to win their second straight World Series title early Sunday in an instant Game 7 classic that stretched 11 innings.

Catcher Will Smith smashed the game-winning solo homer in the top of the 11th inning to seal the 5-4 win over the host Toronto Blue Jays after the Dodgers roared back to tie the game with solo homers in the 8th and 9th innings.

Pitching ace Yoshinibu Tamamoto was named the World Series MVP after he entered Game 7 in relief just a day after throwing 96 pitches during his Game 6 start.

Max Muncy and Miguel Rojas gave the Dodgers the chance to win by hitting home runs in the bottom of the eighth and the bottom of the ninth innings respectively, striking against the Blue Jays top reliever Jeff Hofmann.

Yamamoto also had to escape a ninth-inning bases-loaded jam to add to the drama as the Dodgers captured the last two games of an epic Series that also featured an 18-inning marathon earlier in the week.

"Oh my gosh, I think that game had every single thing you could possibly have," Dodgers star Freddie Freeman said during a post-game celebration in MLB on Fox. "Just an incredible game, an incredible Series."

Even President Donald Trump weighed in on the comeback win.

"Congratulations to the L.A. Dodgers, a game won by incredible CHAMPIONS!!! A lesser group of men would never have been able to win that game, or game 6, for that matter. So many stars made it all happen. Also, congratulations to ownership. What a great job they have done. SEE YOU ALL AT THE WHITE HOUSE!!! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP," he wrote on his Truth Social platform.

Los Angeles became the first team to win back-to-back titles since the New York Yankees won three straight from 1998 to 2000.
