While the Dodgers ultimately won the series by taking Game 7 in 11 innings, reliever Blake Treinen believes there was a lot of luck on his team’s side<\/a>. He believes everything “just went right” for LA to become back-to-back World Series champions.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s like if you played that World Series out a hundred times, the Blue Jays would probably win 99 times,\u201d Treinen said earlier this month<\/a>. \u201cEverything just worked out for us. All the things just went right.\u201d<\/p>\n Everyone talks about Game 7, and rightfully so, but the Blue Jays also pushed the Dodgers to the brink of elimination in Game 6, when they led the series 3-2 in Toronto.<\/p>\n The Blue Jays had the winning run at the plate in the bottom of the ninth inning of Game 6, only for the Dodgers to turn an improbable double play to force a Game 7.<\/p>\n Tyler Glasnow came into a second and third no outs jam with the winning run at the plate.<\/p>\n He needed 3 pitches to record 3 outs and send the Dodgers to a Game 7.<\/p>\n What a performance from the Santa Clarita native (with some help from Kik\u00e9 Hernandez).pic.twitter.com\/tk2vdLgEJS<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Noah Camras (@noahcamras) November 1, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n The Blue Jays then had the Dodgers on the ropes in Game 7, sitting just two outs away from a championship in the top of the ninth inning. But No. 9 hitter Miguel Rojas hit a game-tying home run<\/a>, one of the most improbable in MLB history.<\/a><\/p>\n Miguel Rojas with the biggest swing of his life.<\/p>\n What a decision from Dave Roberts to put him into this series.<\/p>\n The Dodgers and Blue Jays are tied at 4.pic.twitter.com\/czc2KPJYXe<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Noah Camras (@noahcamras) November 2, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n But the Blue Jays still had chances to win after that.<\/p>\n In the bottom of the ninth inning, the Blue Jays loaded the bases with only one out in a 4-4 game. They couldn’t score, in large part because of a great defensive play by Rojas and another by Andy Pages.<\/p>\n Miguel Rojas is trying to make the latest World Series MVP run of all time.<\/p>\n He saved the Dodgers’ season on offense with a game-tying home run. He just saved the Dodgers’ season on defense.<\/p>\n Oh my god.pic.twitter.com\/toAymjcEDK<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Noah Camras (@noahcamras) November 2, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Yoshinobu Yamamoto just entered the game on zero days’ rest.<\/p>\n He recorded two outs with the bases loaded and one out to send this game to extra innings.<\/p>\n This game is unbelievable.

He’s not the only Dodger to feel this way, too.<\/p>\n \u201cI think everybody in the world thought that [we were gonna lose], so I\u2019d be lying if I didn\u2019t,\u201d Betts said recently. \u201cI mean, obviously, you don\u2019t wanna have those bad thoughts. But I mean, who doesn\u2019t have that thought in that situation?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThere were so many different times we could\u2019ve lost,\u201d Freddie Freeman added. \u201cAnd it was just like, \u2018Wow, we got out of that one. We got out of this one.\u2019 \u2026 I\u2019m sure if we sat down, you\u2019d probably count on multiple hands, \u2018How did we get out of that?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n In the end, maybe with some luck on their side, the Dodgers etched their names in history as the 2025 World Series champions,<\/p>\n Sign up for our free newsletter<\/a> and follow us on X\/Twitter<\/a> and Facebook<\/a> for the latest news.<\/p>\n
