The Los Angeles Dodgers were crowned champions of Major League Baseball for the second consecutive year. They won the seventh and decisive game of the World Series against the Toronto Blue Jays (5-4) in an epic fashion during the second extra inning. Venezuelan Miguel Rojas hit the game-tying home run in the ninth, and Will Smith hit the championship-winning one. The Blue Jays had the game won, leading 4-2 going into the eighth inning, but home runs from Max Muncy and Miguel Rojas changed the game's story at Toronto's Rogers Centre. In the second extra inning, Will Smith delivered the franchise its first World Series championship since the New York Yankees did so between 1998 and 2000.
