After starting for the Los Angeles Dodgers one day prior, Yoshinobu Yamamoto closed out Game 7 of the World Series vs. the Toronto Blue Jays on November 2, 2025.
00:46Wasn't sure if that hit the knob, but the batter had got his hand.
00:50It got him, and they're loaded up with one away.
00:56Has anyone walked it off with a sacrifice fly?
01:05In 1912, the Red Sox did it against Christy Mathewson, the Hall of Famer.
01:12Dalton Varshow, with the bases loaded and one away.
01:20A variety of ways to become a World Series hero for Varshow.
01:28Well, they're taking a look at this to make sure that it was hit by pitch.
01:32Yeah, it was.
01:33Fence over there.
01:36A great view up on the video board there.
01:41And so up comes Varshow.
01:44His impact has been with his defense.
01:46It's been a profound impact in this Game 7.
01:50Diving play that kept Teoscar Hernandez's ball back in the fourth inning from becoming a big hit.
01:56It was just a sacrifice fly with his diving catch.
02:04He'd love to make the bat the thing they talk about.
02:10Room for air.
02:11Gone for Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
02:14Bases loaded.
02:14One away.
02:15Andy Pajas replaces Tommy Edmund.
02:27Getting the stronger arms out there.
02:33The runner of third again is Isaiah Connor for Laffa.
02:36Pinch running for Bo Bichette.
02:40Dave Roberts left in the home plate umpire Jordan Baker.
02:43Know about the move.
02:44Single walk hit by pitch.
02:50It's getting a very Blue Jays inning feel to it.
02:57In an incredible inning.
03:04Everybody pulled in on the infield.
03:08Can Yamamoto get this game to extras as the Dodgers try to repeat?
03:13Or does the wait end for the Blue Jays?
03:16A moment 32 years they've been waiting for.
03:22Dalton Varshow.
03:27Takes ball one.
03:29Nowhere to put him for Yamamoto.
03:30Bouncer foul.
03:46Bouncer foul.
03:46And it's Miguel Rojas who ties it in the top of the ninth.
04:09Saves it in the bottom of the ninth.
04:11Two out.
04:13I mean he was stumbling.
04:16They're going to take a look just to take a look.
04:18But he lost his balance right here.
04:20And gathered to make the throw.
04:23Very close.
04:24Look at this.
04:25I mean almost loses every bit of those balance to make this throw.
04:29But the question is going to be did Will Smith have his spike on the plate or not in time?
04:40Call on the field is that he's out.
04:42Watch his spike right here.
04:44It comes up.
04:45And does it come down before?
04:49Man this would be an epic reversal.
04:53It's up.
04:55It's down.
04:56I think it's back down before his foot hits the plate.
05:02Here's going to be a great look.
05:04It's so close.
05:06But again the key thing is that the call is out.
05:09The reviewer of the call in the field is confirmed.
05:12They confirmed the call.
05:15Two outs in the ninth inning.
05:17Miguel Rojas, who was completely out of the picture 48 hours ago, has changed this World Series dramatically twice.
05:31Ernie Clement has collected more hits in this postseason than any hitter in any postseason.
05:38If he can get one more, his name will live forever.
05:43Now Barger is the winning run.
05:47Five ball to left field.
05:54Hernandez on the run with Páez over his head.
05:57Páez runs him over.
06:00Makes the catch.
06:01Sends game seven to the net.
06:04Páez fresh into the ball game.
06:07Steam rolls his left fielder who is trying to play Willie Mays.
06:12Páez says, I'm the captain now.
06:14And would you believe that this game somehow just keeps on going?
06:22Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
06:24Wow, says Will Smith and the rest of us.
06:28What are the chances?
06:30Both teams' bases loaded one out and neither scores.
06:33Andres Jimenez.
06:35Strike one for Yamamoto.
06:369-1-2 for the Jays here.
06:40Jimenez knocked in a run with a double back in the sixth.
06:44He's had some huge hits in these playoffs.
06:47The nine-hitter for the Dodgers that tied it in the ninth.
06:51The nine-hitter for the Blue Jays leading off the ten.
06:53And what Yamamoto's doing is unsure adrenaline.
06:57It's unbelievable to think that he could be in this game in this situation after pitching 96 or so pitches.
07:06Bouncing by right side, Rojas charges, shuttles it up the first one away.
07:10They've got to pick on a new guy.
07:12Rojas is making all the plays.
07:14That's right.
07:14Yamamoto, 96 pitches in game six after the complete game in game two.
07:23In 1926, Grover, Cleveland, Alexander.
07:27Complete game.
07:29And then the next day, two and a third to finish off the Yankees.
07:32He was 39 years old when he did it.
07:35Springer.
07:37Offside ball on him.
07:39Randy Johnson did the same thing for the Diamondbacks.
07:42Seven innings in game six in a one.
07:44And then one in the third out of the pen to get the win in game seven.
07:52Yamamoto, the fourth and final Dodgers starter.
07:57Springer, a World Series hero before.
08:01In the dirt ball, two.
08:04Three more hits today, even though he is a shell of himself physically right now.
08:10Bad knee, bad side, bad body.
08:14Trying to win the World Series.
08:19Patiently watches it go to three and oh.
08:21You want to know what would suffer the most by pitching in a game like this after starting the night before would be command.
08:33That would be the thing you would see on a pitcher.
08:40The command when you're in rhythm, he pitches in a strike zone more than anybody in baseball.
08:45And you would think that would be a little tougher today to measure up all those finite secondary pitches.
08:52Three and oh, three and oh, three and two.
08:56Five pitches, Springer's taking them all.
09:02Miles Strauss on deck.
09:03That's not who they necessarily wanted to play.
09:05He's in the game for his defense.
09:07In the two spot in the order now.
09:09On a 3-2 pitch.
09:13George Springer.
09:15Fouls it off and crumbles to the deck.
09:19Ow, he said.
09:21And uses that bat as a cane.
09:2536, feeling like he's 96.
09:27I guess adds a bruise.
09:40Another 3-2.
09:41Springer swings and misses.
09:43Strike three, two gone.
09:44And as the clock strikes midnight here in Toronto, we play on to November 2nd.
10:05Longest journey in sports.
10:07Baseball season, 162 games to the postseason.
10:12And it keeps on rolling.
10:14Miles Strauss, pops it up.
10:17He's going to find the seat.
10:18Strike one.
10:22Well, 16 and a third innings out of Yamamoto.
10:26And still no walks, which is impressive beyond belief.
10:31Miles Strauss looking for a moment.
10:35Shane Bieber getting ready.
10:36Straw with full home runs during the regular season.
10:45Takes downstairs, 1-1.
10:461-1.
10:56Yamamoto hardly sweating.
10:57Here's his 1-1 pitch.
11:04In the air to right field.
11:06No big deal for Teasur Hernandez.
11:07And Game 7 moves along to the 11th inning.
11:11Well, this whole battery for the Dodgers, three outs away from legendary status in the World Series and in Game 7 history.
11:20Yoshinobu Yamamoto tries to go the final two-plus innings and make Will Smith's home run stand up.
11:27Defensive changes behind Yamamoto in the outfit and the infield.
11:37Justin Dean is into the game in center.
11:39Pahez over to right.
11:41Kim has replaced Rojas at second.
11:42Now Guerrero.
11:45Last chance for the Jays.
11:47Ball one from Yamamoto.
12:001-0 pitch.
12:02Ball two.
12:05Guerrero thought that he had maybe ended it.
12:07Leading off the ninth against Blake Snell when he crushed the ball.
12:11The warning track in center field, but it fell a little bit short.
12:16And on this 2-0, takes it down the middle, 2-1.
12:20Haven't seen many curveballs from Yamamoto.
12:24That's a pitch he got a big out last time he faced Guerrero in his start.
12:33Fastball speeds in there, 2-2.
12:35And he is just making pitch after pitch when he has to.
12:43Ball inside and the count goes full.
12:49Jays took the lead in the third inning.
12:52Had it until the ninth.
12:54Dodgers tied it on the Rojas home run.
12:56Now the Smith home run has L.A. in front.
13:00Guerrero.
13:01Hooks one.
13:02Down the line.
13:03Towards the corner.
13:04It's a fair ball.
13:05It's extra bases.
13:07Tying run and scoring position.
13:09And a flash.
13:10I mean, this is just such great hitting, I can't even tell you.
13:25He pulls his hands in and gets that ball fair and a fastball inside that makes people either swing and miss or pull foul.
13:32Look how quickly he can get his hands in the barrel to the bat.
13:36Under the pressure.
13:37In the moment.
13:38And now another opportunity with man on second.
13:42Nobody out for the Blue Jays.
13:44They have not cashed in in a couple of them.
13:46Do they play for the tie here?
13:47Corners think so.
13:48They're pinched in.
13:49This is Kiner Falefa, who's in for his defense.
13:52He's a good buncher.
13:53Lays down a perfect run.
13:55Yamamoto at first in time.
13:58Tying run to third.
13:59Third.
13:59Third.
14:08Addison Barger to the plate.
14:10Art Pryor.
14:15Interpreter Will Ayrton.
14:17About to talk with Yamamoto.
14:19Roki Sasaki and Clayton Kershaw.
14:22We've got a scenario here where it's not the end of the world if they pitch around Barger and you get him on first base because you've got a double play candidate.
14:41But a guy who can handle the bat and Kirk Barger has such an aggressive swing that I'm sure they're talking to him to get something below the barrel.
14:52Try to get him to swing over the top because he's going to want to hit this hard and lift it.
14:58By the way, out of the five walk-off wins in World Series history, they've all broken ties.
15:04Never been a Game 7 walk-off home run to go from behind to win.
15:10Barger, who's hitting .480 in this fall classic.
15:13The infield pulled in for the Dodgers.
15:16Guerrero the tying run at third.
15:18Yamamoto's pitch.
15:19Outside, ball one.
15:24The 1-0.
15:26Ball two.
15:27You don't think him being the runner on second in Game 6, making the final outs on his mind right now, trying to do something special.
15:35And they are borderline pitching away from him.
15:41On a 2-0 pitch.
15:44Barger takes 5-3-0.
15:52Kirk waits on death.
15:54He's got his think off speed.
15:56Even 3-0.
15:56If you've got the green light, you've got to think off speed.
16:02Green light to try and win the World Series.
16:04Instead, takes ball four.
16:06So, tying run 90 feet away.
16:09Winning run on base.
16:11Alejandro Kirk coming up.
16:13And they will play back from the double play ball just based on his speed.
16:24World Series could end on one swing in either direction.
16:37Home run wins it for the Blue Jays.
16:40Ground ball wins it for the Dodgers.
16:45Kirk.
16:46The captain pokes a foul.
16:5217 double plays.
17:03He's hit in two this season and the postseason.
17:06If you're wondering.
17:07on an 0-1 pitch, Alejandro Kirk has a curve land in there.
17:17Strike two.
17:19And there's that breaking ball.
17:20Whenever he goes to that pitch, it's a built-in change of speed.
17:24It makes the hitter buckle.
17:25Here's the 0-2 pitch.
17:36Kirk.
17:37Bounces right.
17:38Up the middle.
17:39Pits to the back.
17:40Over the first.
17:41To beat the champ.
17:42You've got to knock him out.
17:45The Dodgers stand tall and win back-to-back titles.
17:49The Dodgers stand tall and win back-to-back titles.
17:59The Dodgers stand tall and win back-to-back titles.
