One day after pitching 6 innings in Game 6, Yamamoto delivered the final 2 2/3 innings to secure L.A.'s second straight title.

The Dodgers became the first team since the Yankees in 2000 to repeat as World Series champions. The Blue Jays were within two outs of the franchise’s first championship in 32 years, before closer Jeff Hoffman surrendered a game-tying homer to Miguel Rojas in the ninth.

A team source confirmed Ohtani will start Game 7 for the Dodgers against the Blue Jays' 41-year-old future Hall of Famer Max Scherzer.

The Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-2 in game four of the MLB World Series. In the 28 October 2025 game, Dominican Vladimir Guerrero made the headlines delivering two runs against star pitcher-batter Shohei Ohtani.

Following Game 6, manager Dave Roberts said that “everyone will be available” to pitch on Saturday night, with the starter still to be determined. There are reports it will be Shohei Ohtani, whom Roberts acknowledged as “a possibility” to be the first man up.
