Drama Unfolds in World Series Game 3: Dodgers and Blue Jays Tied 5-5

LOS ANGELES, Calif. — The 2025 World Series Game 3 between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays has reached a thrilling stalemate at 5-5, heading into the bottom of the eighth inning. The teams entered the game tied 1-1 after splitting the first two matchups at Rogers Centre in Toronto.

Tonight, Dodger Stadium served as the backdrop for this critical clash, where both teams aimed to secure a pivotal advantage. Strong performances by key players kept fans on the edge of their seats. The Dodgers initially took a 2-0 lead in the second inning thanks to solo home runs by Freddie Freeman and Shohei Ohtani.

However, the Blue Jays quickly shifted momentum. Alejandro Kirk launched a three-run homer, propelling the Jays to a 5-4 lead. Ohtani responded in the fifth with his second home run of the game, tying the score at five runs.

The atmosphere in Dodger Stadium was electric, as fans erupted in chants for Roki Sasaki, who was brought in to pitch during a critical moment in the eighth inning. With two Blue Jays on base, Sasaki faced Ty France, hoping to keep the game tied.

As of now, the stakes could not be higher. Historically, teams that lead 2-1 in a best-of-seven playoff series win around 70% of the time. The outcome of Game 3 could significantly influence the trajectory of the series.

With an intense final inning anticipated, both teams remain poised for a dramatic finish. “It’s anybody’s game now,” remarked Dodgers manager Dave Roberts.
