Dodgers vs. Blue Jays World Series Game 2 Highlights (10/25/25) | MLB Highlights

And Rocky four, Ivon Drago gets cut and Rocky goes in the corner and says, “Look, he’s a man. He bleeds.” The Blue Jays I staggered the Dodgers cut him a little bit. What do you think that means for game two? Flo, I hate to play one up, but I’m going to go to the original Rocky one. End of the first end of the first round. The trainer Duke says to Apollo Creed, he don’t think it’s a damn show. He thinks it’s a damn show. Yes, he does. Last night we realized this wasn’t going to be a four game coronation. This is going to be a damn fight. The Blue Jays demolished the Dodgers in game one of the World Series. 11-4 was the score yesterday, giving Toronto a one- nothing lead as it tries to cap off a nice pair of games here at home to start the Fall Classic. 32 years between World Series games here in Toronto, but was it ever worth the wait? The Blue Jays with one of the biggest innings in World Series history last night into game one to win the opener. And the fans have packed the Rogers Center again, hoping for more tonight here in game two. Kevin Gosman, the ace of these Blue Jays in his 13th year in the major leagues, makes his World Series debut. Yeah, he’s waited a long time for this and he’s going to throw his fastball split combination the majority of the time and he’ll mix in a slider. And I’m intrigued about tonight’s game to see with all the matchups he’s had against these players, and he’s had a lot of them. Does he go away from using a high percentage of splitters early and rely on that fast ball? That will be what I’m looking for. Otani got him for a home run, but if you keep the ball away from Otani, you’re going to get him out just about more times than not. 02 pitch. It’s a fast ball that was left over the plate, poked to the left field corner. Lucas is there. a lot of the play with that but got away with it. A deep drive but there’s one out. Betts was one for four with a walk and a run scored last night. He does have hits in three straight games hitting 289 this postseason but a lot of that work was done in the wildard round against the Reds. Down the right field line. Bargers over there. Plenty of room. Two up and two down in the first. And it brings up Freddy Freeman. Here’s a guy the Dodgers are trying to get going. 0 for three yesterday. Just two for 14 in this postseason. Only one run batted in. He drove himself in. A home run in Milwaukee. Half of the pitches in this inning coming to him. This is the eighth. Hooks it down the line. He went down to get a splitter and popped it into the corner for extra bases. Freddy Freeman with a two out double as Freddy Freeman wins the battle against Gossman. A two out standup double. And a chance for Will Smith. Knocked in a run yesterday. 389 over a fivegame hitting streak. Up to middle. Base hit center field. And the Dodgers with two out in the first inning. Get on the board. A double from Freeman. A single from Smith. And it’s one- nothing. Quickly off of the deck after they got beaten down in game one. Good pieces of hitting. Slider away. And you go with it. Right up the middle. Two quick outs and then a battled at bat by Freddy Freeman. Just like that. Dodgers on the board first. Best two out team in baseball during the regular season. Flexing that muscle right here. Yoshino Yamamoto is second in the National League behind Paul Skins with a 249 during the regular season and after his complete game against the Brewers 183 in the postseason. Yeah, good luck trying to eliminate one of these pitchers. They’re all good and the Blue Jays have never seen him really. Only two players on their roster have faced him. Well, quite a few things change based on if it’s a righty or a lefty they’re facing. One thing remains the same. That man there will lead things off. Left a fast ball middle and it was pounded. Springer turns the corner. Throw from Hernandez. Not in time. Leadoff double. Boy, a two strike pitch. That was on a T for Springer. Let’s go, says Nathan Lucas comes up to the plate. Tying run in scoring position. Flexes one. Shadow center. They’re at it again. First and third, nobody out. They just don’t let up. They don’t. They’re confident. They play great at home. We’ve documented this all the way throughout. Two more hits yesterday for Vladimir Guerrero Jr. He’s hitting 522 over his last six games. Three times as many extra base hits in these playoffs as he has strikeouts. You’re not supposed to be able to be both things. The big bruising slugger and the guy that refuses to budge with two strikes. Curve gets him swinging. Just the fourth strike out of the playoffs of Vladimir Guerrero Jr. here. So you get foul ball after foul ball on the splitter in the sinker and then you come in with a curveball, the first one of the night and that was a dandy. Alejandro Kirk three for three with a home run and a walk in game one. Here’s a two-1 pitch to first and caught by Freeman on the fly. Both runners back to the bag. Two out and a chance for Yamamoto to get out of this unscathed. Here’s an interesting matchup coming here. John Dalton Vo, the best change up hitter, change up and splitter hitter in baseball. Yamamoto’s a strike away from getting out of this inning. That was first and third. Nobody out without a run. There it goes. It’s a curve that falls in for strike three. And Vo like a house by the side of the road watches it. And the Jays watch a scoring opportunity in this first inning slip through their fingertips. Well, upside down first innings for these teams. Gossman retired the first two and then gave up a run. Yamamoto gave up two base runners before he got an out and got out of it. Ellis are tied the first two as he did in the first inning and got to squaltch it before a two-out rally here. Payoff from Guardsman. He’s down on a fast ball. And there’s that one, two, three inning. Ernie Clement leads off for the Blue Jays. Ernie Clement pops the first pitch that he sees. Straight up, straight down. Freddy Freeman dropped the ball. Wow. Oh my goodness. It was in front of the mound. Yamamoto was pointing to the sky. Will Smith, Maxy, Freddy Freeman, all four of them were right there and nobody could make the catch. No, just poorly played. Now the Blue Jays have to take advantage of that. That is an absolute gift from the Dodgers. Full count for Barger. Yamamoto gives him strike three. 97 at the knees down the middle. Already three strikeouts for Yamamoto. First pitch to Connor Fo. Fly to center field. A routine fly ball. Andy PZ has the read and he makes the catch. So out number two on one pitch for Yamoto. That sort of helps make up for the misplay earlier. Two outs in this second inning and the nine hitter. Nine hitter, but he knocked in another run yesterday. He’s third on the team in the postseason. Shot to short. Betts down to get it to his feet into first in time. Mookie Betts. What a transformation from right field to short. He helps his buddy over at first. Have this be one that he can move on from that little misplay to begin the inning. K and the Blue Jays second time through get to Yoshi Nou Yamamoto. George Springer got drilled by a first pitch fast ball from Yamamoto. Been a painful last week or so for George Springer. Now he gets hit up by the hand. Well, Johnny, talk about how nice a one, two, three inning is to sprinkle in as a pitcher in the postseason. How about three innings and the leadoff man on all three? Nathan Lucas up. Lucas one for one with a single. Lucas so tough with two strikes. Down this time on the high fast ball. Fourth K for Yamamoto. And now Vlad Jr. struck him out the first time. Got three swings and misses. That matched the high for an entire game in this postseason for Guerrero. Drilled down the left field line towards the corner and off the wall. Hernandez plays the carum. Guns into second to hold him to a single. First and third for the Blue Jays with one out. Hit so hard. Vlatty stays at first on a good play by KK Hernandez. But for the second time in three innings, Blue Jays have first and third with less than two outs. The Blue Jays are shouting for their baseball. Uh Vladimir Jr. has just passed John Olaroo for the most hits in a single postseason in Blue Jays history. Another chance for the Blue Jays and again it’s on Kirk’s plate. He was up in the same situation in the first inning. Lined out and Mamoto got out of that jam. Sends a high drive to center field that is plenty deep enough to tie up game two. Well, here comes George Springer. It’s 1-1. Alejandro Kirk gets it done. The Blue Jays have been leaning on Yamamoto from the start and they finally break through. Freddy Freeman, Will Smith, and Tea Oscar Hernandez will hit for the Dodgers against Kevin Gosman this inning. Just another ridiculously challenging inning presented by this Dodger lineup. Well, if you make your pitches, you can get these guys out. Kevin Gosman is looking like he has command of all of his pitches so far in this ball game. He’s retired the last seven he’s faced. Gossman in a good way almost in autopilot. Two out space is empty and he’s ahead of his former teammate Tay Oscar Hernandez. Nothing at two. P strike three. Splitter in the zone to freeze Hernandez and end the top of the fourth. Kevin Gosman has retired 10 straight. Just recorded his third strikeout and he keeps it a 1-1 game. Kevin Gosman back on the hill. He’s retired 10 straight. Allowed only two base runners. Backto back clean innings. He’s gotten six outs on 13 pitches total. But he’ll face an old nemesis in Maxie here in the fifth. Swinging a miss. He got him. Cosman’s cooking right now. His fourth strikeout. Got him on a splitter. One out in the top of the fifth. Number seven hitter in the Dodger order. Enrique Hernandez is up. The one two right back there to strike him out. back-to- back Ks to open the fifth. When I said the height of the fast ball is going to be the most important part of tonight between two pitchers and then you see a pitch in that same area and there’s just no way he has to hang that pitch for the hitter to have any chance because now he’s trying to protect two areas, the the location and the movement. Gossman’s punched out three straight going back to the fourth hitting and with two outs in the fifth. He offers home to Tommy Edmond. Tommy Edmond hooks one in the air to right field. Bargers going back with room. Another one, two, three inning for Kevin Gosman, who’s not given up a base runner since the first. After the first one, two, three inning for Yamamoto. It has been constant stress. Right from a leadoff double from George Springer, there wasn’t a runner in scoring position the entire game in the championship series. When he went the distance against Milwaukee, right from the start today, he’s had that. He has and he’s done a great job wiggling in and out of he’s thrown a lot of strikes. 23 pitches in that first inning. The Dodgers had to be fearing repeat last night when Snell had to throw 29 but just 10 pitches per inning since. Bounce back to him. Yamamoto’s got it. Takes his time. Throws to first and ends the inning. It’s another one two three inning. Yamamoto’s gotten his last six outs on 14 pitches. Since giving up the two two out hits in a run in the first, he has not allowed a base runner. He’s retired 13 in a row and turned a very, very tough lineup into a pretty efficient five innings. One pitch, one out on a fast ball. And now Otani. Otani is still looking for that pitch middle in. And he’s hit some a fly ball to left and a popup on the hands. Foul ground. Clement and Kirk. Ernie Clement to get Otani. And so here is Kevin Gosman at 5 and 2/3 which is where four of his six postseason starts with the Blue Jays have ended. Well, nobody in the pen and he’s got a different look and 15 straight batters will do that for your manager to not give a reason to even get anybody up. So an impressive outing and he knew he was going to have to be great when you go up against another great hot pitcher even though you’re not facing him. You know you can’t give up many runs. Betts pops it up. Guerrero’s over. He has room. Stumbling to his backside to finish off another one, two, three inning. Boy, have you ever seen somebody throw his gum with such attitude as Kevin Gosman does feeling himself tied up in game two in a pitcher duel. Yamamoto for the Dodgers has retired eight straight. Kevin Gauman double that. 16 in a row retired. Back to the Dodgers first inning run. grounds one up the middle. Ricochets to second. Tommy Edmond from short center field throws him out. I don’t know if that got piece of Yamamoto or at least kicked off of the mound. Not a simple play. One gone in the six. Looks like it got all mound. Here’s a man responsible for the Blue Jays first run. Alejandro K. The curve gets him to wave and miss. Yoshi Nou Yamamoto with his fifth strike out of the game against this deadly Toronto offense. Blue Jes have a base runner since a one out single from Guerrero in the third. Shadow center Betts is there. Three up, three down again. That’s 11 in a row retired by Yamamoto. Your turn, Kevin Gosman. Kevin Gosman has finally broken through here in his seventh postseason start. First time he’s pitched into the seventh inning. Who blinks first? Same question asked a different way. Who has that big swing? This has the kind of feel to it that be one swing to decide it. You’re talking about two of the best teams from run scoring from the sixth inning on. Blue Jays were the best and the Dodgers were second. The 3-2 high drive deep to left field. It’s Smith with a big swing into the second deck. He’s given the Dodgers the lead in the seventh. His first extra base hit of the postseason. Couldn’t have come at a better time for LA. And one of the first pitch location mistakes for Gau. You cannot miss middle in short arms, compact swing, loves that pitch inside and he leaked his fastball for the first time in the wrong area. Dodgers had not had a base runner since the first inning. Then bang, normally stoic Dodger catcher. Any bit of fire and emotion you’ve got hidden under there is going to come to the surface in October. Yeah, Mamoto constant stress in the early innings, but three straight one, two, three innings and finally some backing from his offense. Teams that out homer their opponent in this postseason are 25 and five and the Dodgers with the first big fly of game two. 2-1, two out, and Max on a 2-2. Muny swings and pushes a high fly ball left field carrying back. Does it have enough? This ball is gone. Max Muny sends one into the Blue Jay bullpen. The second blast of the seventh inning and the Dodgers have doubled their lead. That pitch needed to be up and it was down. And even though he was late, he’s strong enough to hit the ball to all parts of the park. Watch where this pitch is. That pitch is that bell tie. Needs to be up higher to get that above the barrel of the bat. And he goes the other way. Two home runs from the Dodgers in the seventh inning, ending the longest postseason start from Kevin Gosman, who had not given up a base runner since the first. He gets a welldeserved hand. But right now, the story, the Dodgers trying to get this series back to LA, tied up, trying to defend their title. Kevin Gosman blinks first. 3-1 Dodgers. Yamamoto back to the mound. His pitch count is in order. 71 pitches to get through six innings. 48 of them strikes. And if I’m Dave Roberts and the Dodgers at this point, I’m starting to think about the best path forward is just letting this guy go the distance again. 23 pitches in the first inning. Is it just 74 now in the seventh? And John Schneider looking for a spark offensively. He’s going to go to his bench. Pinch hitting for Isaiah Kiner Fa Boette. Try to start something with two gone. Trying to start anything against Yamamoto to bets it short. backhand stab lobs it across and three ground ball outs. Yamamoto with 14 in a row retired sniffing it again. Sniffing the finish line and Andy Pahes as we told you is due and you see the Dodgers first base dugout to a man everybody applauding cuz they know what Pahes has been. He’s been working extra. So a runner on for Shi Otani who’s hitless so far tonight. Otani breaks his bat and a base hit to right. Back-to-back singles for Pahz and Otani. Throw behind Pahes who almost got backpicked there by Barger. Barger’s got a cannon, but it looks like he got back. I mean, this guy 98 m an hour he can throw a ball and he got back. Dodgers are at first and second with one away. Looking for some insurance here with Mookie Betts coming up. Here’s the payoff outside. Ball four. Load the bases for the Dodgers. Going to make a pitching change here with the bases loaded in the eighth. Freddy Freeman’s coming up with a chance to break open game two. Yeah. And for Hoffman, he’s going to try and get the the ground ball, the double play. What about Freddy Freeman against Hoffman? Well, he’s two for seven and the two a double and a home run. And comes in and skips away from Kirk. So, Pahus is going to race in from third. All runners move up of base and the Dodgers have another run. Wow. And a wild pitch. And for Kirk was not able to to really smother the ball that almost hit Freeman to begin with. I think Kirk initially thought it did hit Freddy Freeman cuz he was slow to get up from his crouch as the ball dribbled to his own dugout. Now they’re going to walk him intentionally. Now Will Smith with the bases loaded is Smith’s home run that broke the tie last inning. Bouncing ball to short. Could get him out of the inning. There’s one over to first. Not in time. And a run comes to the back door. Otani in to score as Will Smith is safe at first. Jenz could have come home to get a runner. I’m not so sure that was the wisest decision. When you’re down three, you got to be absolutely sure you can turn this. This is a long underhand toss and that’s just too long. The play would have been to come home for sure. So now it’s five to one and Will Smith has driven in three. Doubles his total for the postseason. Teao is due 0 for three. He has struck out three times tonight. 02 to the plate. Runner takes off from first. A swing and a miss. Strike three. Dodgers get two against the pen in the eighth. And Yoshi Nou Yamamoto has retired 14 in a row. Could he be headed for yet another complete game? He’s coming off the first complete game in the playoffs in eight years. Now eyeing his second in a row. The one-two pitch. He got him swinging. Struck him out with the curve. Curve ball since the first inning has really been I think helping to be a game changer. Can’t just sit on a pass ball. Can’t just sit on the splitter. Strikes out Springer with a fast ball. That thing blazing to the top of the zone. Yamamoto seven. He has taken a great offense. Maybe not early on, but since then just put him away. One, two to Lucas. A fast ball to the knees to get him looking. He strikes out the side in the eight. What a performance. Yoshi Nou Yamamoto take a bow in game two. The Dodgers five. The Jays won. LA’s three outs away from tying this series up. Something special brewing here for Yoshi Nou Yamamoto. Try to join the likes of Oral Hershiser to deal backto-back complete game wins in the postseason. You got to go back to that 1988 epic run from Oral to find the last guy that has done what Yamamoto’s trying to do in a Dodger uniform almost impossibly. He’s trying to do it against this lineup. This lineup that coming into the game had the number one slugging percentage of any lineup in postseason history. Curve off the end of the bat. Freeman to first. One away in the ninth. When you get awkward swings from Vladimir Guerrero Jr., that’ll tell you that this guy is really, really good on the mount. Kirk sends a line drive to center field. Justin Dean is there. Two gone in the ninth. Well, we’ve mentioned it several times. It would have been almost a decade since anybody had pitched a complete game in the postseason. Yamamoto an out away from doing it backto back start. Standing out like a beautiful sore thumb. The one-two pitch popped up left side. Yamamoto goes the distance again. World Series mastery. Yoshi Nou Yamamoto. Game two of the World Series against the Blue Jays has thrown a complete game, retiring the final 20 that he faces. Nine strikeouts, no walks. Simply dazzling. The Dodgers take game two by a final of five to one. And even this best of seven series, one game a piece.

  1. That is what u call a masterpiece…uffffff.i think this guy is better than the goat ohtany when it comes to pitching…geniallllll 😂now the ones in trouble are the Toronto blue Jays cause I think they will play 3 games in los Angeles…

  2. Satisfying seeing cocky gausman got humbled in the 6th 🤣 win or lose he could learn some humility calm cool from dodgers starters

  3. HP UMPIRE, ADRIAN JOHNSON was deliberately trying very hard to give the game to jays by squeezing Yoshi so many times but giving jays pitchers wide strike zone. But Yoshi persevered.

  4. That was an amazing performance by Yamamoto. When the Jays got runners on in all of the first 3 innings, I thought it was going to go just like game 1. But they didn't get a runner after the 3rd inning. And 8 K's? That's a lot against this Blue Jays team that doesn't strike out.

    I'm still hoping the Jays can do it. (I hate the Dodgers – for the same reason people used to hate the Yankees.) But I have to give Yamamoto credit – especially since things didn't start off that easy for him. 1st and 3rd nobody out in the 1st and he gets out of it. Has the leadoff man get on in all of the 1st three innings. Gives up the tying run in the 3rd. But then just locks in after that. It was amazing.

    Gaus pitched great, too. But Yamamoto… !!!

  5. I really believe if we had kept Snell in yesterday we'd have won. You can have a bad inning, it's the World Series, let your best guys pitch. I'm hoping Yoshi can go again for at least 6-7 innings in game 5.
