WORLD SERIES BOILS DOWN TO GAME 7

Toronto’s Rogers Centre promises to be electric after fans there were left stunned by the Dodgers’ 3-1 triumph in a tight game 6 - in which a spectacular game-ending double play in the bottom of the ninth inning finally extinguished the home team’s hopes.

The Blue Jays had the tying runs in scoring position in an eventful final frame that included a ground rule double by Addison Barger that lodged under the bottom edge of the outfield wall.

“That will take a while to kind of unpack,” Blue Jays manager John Schneider said. “That's a wild ending. But we're going to be ready to play tomorrow.”

The Blue Jays are trying to cap a remarkable rise from last place in the American League East division in 2024 with their first title since they won back-to-back World Series crowns in 1992 and 1993.

They knocked out the Yankees in the AL division series, then rallied from 0-2 down to beat the Seattle Mariners in the AL championship series.
