Who Won the World Series Game Last Night? Final Score, MVP & Game-Changing Highlights Unpacked

The Los Angeles Dodgers evened the 2025 World Series at one game apiece last night, defeating the Toronto Blue Jays 5–1 at Rogers Centre behind a masterful complete-game performance from Yoshinobu Yamamoto and late fireworks from Will Smith and Max Muncy. Yamamoto needed just 103 pitches to log the first World Series complete game since 2015, scattering five hits, striking out nine and walking none. The rookie right-hander’s splitter kept Toronto’s power bats quiet while his mid-90s fastball generated 14 swinging strikes, neutralizing MVP candidates Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette. The game turned in the seventh inning. With the score tied 1–1, Smith ambushed a first-pitch sinker from Blue Jays starter Kevin Gausman, launching it 407 feet to left. Three batters later, Muncy hooked a cutter just inside the right-field foul pole for another solo shot, giving Los Angeles a 3–1 cushion it never relinquished. Gavin Lux tacked on a two-run double in the ninth for insurance. Toronto’s lone run came in the bottom of the sixth, when Alejandro Kirk’s sacrifice fly scored George Springer. Gausman matched zeros with Yamamoto early but was tagged for three runs over 6⅔ innings, striking out eight. Key takeaway for searchers wondering “Who won the World Series game last night?”: Dodgers 5, Blue Jays 1. The best-of-seven Fall Classic now shifts to Dodger Stadium for Game 3 on Monday, where Los Angeles will send left-hander Julio Urías to the mound opposite Toronto ace Alek Manoah. First pitch is scheduled for 8:07 p.m. ET on FOX. With momentum reclaimed, the Dodgers look to seize their first series lead; the Blue Jays aim to bounce back and keep their bid for the franchise’s first championship since 1993 alive.
