Dodgers great Clayton Kershaw ends his career unaware at first that he won the World Series again. Clayton Kershaw ended his illustrious 18-year career unaware initially that he'd just won the World Series again. The Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Toronto Blue Jays 5-4 in 11 innings in Game 7 on Saturday night to become the first team in a quarter century to win consecutive championships. But that was news at first to Kershaw. The three-time Cy Young Award winner was warming up in the bullpen when Alejandro Kirk grounded into a game-ending double play. Kershaw says he lost track of the outs and initially thought the tying run scored on the play.

Shohei Ohtani chased in third inning of World Series Game 7 after Bo Bichette's 3-run HR. Shohei Ohtani was pulled off the mound in Game 7 of the World Series after allowing Bo Bichette’s three-run homer in the third inning. Pitching on three days of rest, Ohtani was up to 100.9 mph with his fastball but appeared to run out of steam in the third. After hustling to field Nathan Lukes’ sacrifice bunt, Ohtani threw a wild pitch to Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts intentionally walked Guerrero after that, and Ohtani’s next pitch, his 51st, was a hanging slider that Bichette hit 442 feet. It was Bichette’s first homer since Sept. 2, a few days before suffering the left knee injury still hampering him in this Series.

Blue Jays infielder Ernie Clement sets MLB record with 30 hits in one postseason. With three hits in Game 7 of the World Series, Toronto Blue Jays infielder Ernie Clement set a major league record with 30 hits in one postseason.

Tampa Bay played 20 games in four playoff rounds that year following a pandemic-shortened regular season. Toronto played 18 games in three playoff rounds this season. Clement also extended his hitting streak to 13 games, a Blue Jays postseason record. Toronto catcher Pat Borders had a 12-game hitting streak in 1992.

The 27-year-old Japanese ace pitched out of a jam in the ninth inning, leaving the bases loaded and the score tied at 4. After cruising through the 10th, he worked around Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s leadoff double to preserve a 5-4 lead and lock up LA’s second consecutive championship.

Benches clear at Game 7 of World Series after LA's Wrobleski hits Toronto's Giménez with fastball. Both benches and bullpens cleared in Game 7 of the World Series after Dodgers left-hander Justin Wrobleski hit Blue Jays shortstop Andrés Giménez on the right hand with a pitch. Wrobleski had already thrown two high-and-inside fastballs to Giménez with his first and fourth pitches before hitting him with a 96.4 mph fastball with one out in the fourth inning. Giménez threw his arms out after the pitch and umpire Jordan Baker quickly got between the player and the mound. Wrobleski walked toward the plate with his hands held up, yelling at Giménez as the Blue Jays infielder made his way to first. After the players returned to their benches and bullpens, the umpires huddled briefly before crew chief Mark Wegner issued a warning to both dugouts.

Amid World Series, Blue Jays relievers join Dodgers in wearing tribute to absent LA pitcher Vesia. The Toronto Blue Jays have joined their counterparts on the Los Angeles Dodgers in paying tribute to Dodgers reliever Alex Vesia during the World Series. Vesia is away from the team because of a “deeply personal family matter,” the Dodgers said in a statement posted on social media before Game 1. Pitchers on the Dodgers have been playing with Vesia’s No. 51 on the side of their caps. In a show of solidarity, Blue Jays relievers have started doing the same thing. Toronto’s Chris Bassitt, Seranthony Domínguez, Mason Fluharty and Louis Varland all had the No. 51 written on the side of their caps in Friday’s Game 6, a 3-1 Dodgers win that forced Game 7.
