Quite the World Series Game 3: Dodger over Blue Jays
Posted By RichC on October 28, 2025
Normally I would not post an individual game results in this year’s 2025 World Series, but last night’s game went nearly 6 hours and 40 minutes ending just before 3AM eastern time after 18 innings. It was an incredible pitchers dual that exhausted nearly every relief pitcher each team had. The final straw was a walk off homer by LA’s Freddie Freeman in the bottom of the 18th inning. What a game — my eyes were held open with toothpicks!
The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 6-5 in an 18-inning marathon at Dodger Stadium, tying the record for the longest World Series game in MLB history and taking a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series The game, which lasted six hours and 39 minutes, concluded with a walk-off home run by Freddie Freeman in the bottom of the 18th inning
- The Dodgers’ Shohei Ohtani delivered a historic performance, recording four extra-base hits (two home runs, two doubles) and reaching base nine times, a new postseason record He was walked four times intentionally and once traditionally, with Toronto manager John Schneider stating they “just kind of take the bat out of his hands” after his dominant night
- The game saw a record 19 pitchers used, with nine relievers combining for 13 1/3 innings of one-run ball Will Klein earned the win with four scoreless innings, while Clayton Kershaw recorded a crucial out in the 12th inning with the bases loaded
- The Blue Jays’ George Springer exited the game in the seventh inning with right side discomfort and was sent for an MRI, potentially missing future games
- Game 4 is scheduled for Tuesday, October 28, 2025, at 8:00 PM ET on FOX, with Ohtani set to start on the mound for the Dodgers against Toronto’s Shane Bieber
