It looked pretty bleak for a while. Clayton Kershaw was stuck watching the Blue Jays try to pull out a victory against the Dodgers that would have ended their 32-year World Series title drought. Instead, Max Muncy, Miguel Rojas and Will Smith quickly turned things around.
Kershaw was able to finish his career with a third championship ring as his next stop is Cooperstown and enshrinement in the Baseball Hall of Fame. He addressed his teammates in the locker room just before the champagne started splashing.
“It’s an absolute honor to be in this clubhouse with you. I love each and every one of you,” he said. “I can’t think of a better way to go out than popping bottles with this group of guys. We’re back-to-back champions!”

The Rogers Center was buzzing at the start of the match. Blue Jays fans have been waiting for something incredible to happen and they got it. Bo Bichette, who was dealing with a knee injury, hit a three-run homer in the third inning to give the Blue Jays the lead.
Bichette was 2 for 4 before manager John Schneider ran for him later in the game.

3). The capture of Andy Pages against Enrique Hernández
Blue Jays third baseman Ernie Clement had the bases loaded and a chance to establish himself alongside Joe Carter in organizational history. Clement made a deep throw to left-center field.
Enrique Hernandez was tracking the ball but should have made an overhead catch to end the inning. Instead, center fielder Andy Pages came up and caught the ball over Hernandez. Pages rolled Hernandez to make it, that kept Los Angeles’ hopes alive.
2). More than 2 magical rounds from Yoshinobu Yamamoto

The Dodgers called on Yamamoto to help the team out of a jam in the bottom of the ninth inning — a night after he pitched six innings in the Dodgers’ Game 6 win.
Yamamoto entered the game for Blake Snell and was able to shut down the bases-loaded threat. He then stopped Toronto in the 10th and 11th innings to seal the deal. He won three World Series games and was named World Series MVP.
