The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Toronto Blue Jays in what will go down as one of the greatest Game 7s in World Series history.
The Dodgers were down by one run with one out in the ninth inning until veteran Miguel Rojas unleashed the hit of his life, tying the game with a solo home run.
In the bottom of the ninth, however, the Dodgers found themselves in a one-out, two-on jam, but with their season on the line, Yoshinobu Yamamoto miraculously entered the game to work his magic on no days’ rest.
Toronto Blue Jays star Addison Barger, who collected the first-ever pinch-hit grand slam in World Series history during Game 1 and was hitting .480 in the Fall Classic, was in disbelief that Yamamoto pitched again in Game 7.

“He’s one of the best arms in the game,” Barger said. “He did a great job. Kind of freaky that he came in and pitched today after yesterday. I don’t know what they’re doing over there, how he did that without his arm falling off.”
Yamamoto tossed a complete game in Game 2 of the World Series (his second consecutive complete game) to even the series, and battled through six innings (96 pitches) the night prior, instrumental in forcing a Game 7.
