Dodgers Fight Back in Game 2 of World Series against Blue Jays

Toronto, Ontario – The Los Angeles Dodgers overcame a challenging first few innings to secure a victory over the Toronto Blue Jays, leading 5-1 in Game 2 of the 2025 World Series on October 25.

In front of a chilly crowd at Rogers Centre, the Dodgers aimed to even the series after losing Game 1. Dodgers pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto was pivotal, allowing just one run through eight innings, striking out several key players, and maintaining control on 93 pitches.

Los Angeles scored early in the first inning when Will Smith singled to center, allowing Freddie Freeman to score. Toronto responded with a sacrifice fly from Alejandro Kirk in the third inning, evening the score at 1-1.

However, the Dodgers quickly regained momentum. In the seventh inning, Smith blasted a home run followed by Max Muncy, who also hit a long ball, bringing the score to 3-1. They added crucial insurance runs in the eighth inning, extending their lead to 5-1 after a flurry of base hits, walks, and a wild pitch.

Blue Jays players struggled to capitalize despite several opportunities, failing to score in multiple late innings. Fans at the watch party in Toronto began to lose hope as the team could not break through Yamamoto’s strong performance.

With the Dodgers now trailing 1-0 in the series, the teams will continue their battle tomorrow night, offering fans thrilling playoff action in the quest for baseball’s ultimate prize.
