The Dodgers vs Toronto Blue Jays match player stats from Game 6 of the 2025 World Series told the story of a tight, tense contest decided by three third-inning runs, as Los Angeles held on for a 3-1 victory at Rogers Centre on October 31, 2025.
The win forced the Series to a deciding Game 7, with the Dodgers coming back from a 3-2 series deficit to level things at three games apiece.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto Dominates in Six Strong Innings
Yamamoto was the story of the night.
He went six innings, allowing five hits and one earned run, striking out six while walking just one — improving his World Series record to 4-1 with a postseason ERA of 1.56.
He threw 96 pitches, 63 of them for strikes, a composure that made him nearly impossible to attack in the middle innings.
The Blue Jays managed eight hits but could not string them together at any critical moment.
Toronto’s Kevin Gausman matched Yamamoto for much of the contest but absorbed the loss despite recording eight strikeouts across six innings of work.
He allowed three earned runs on three hits and two walks, dropping his World Series record to 2-3.
Tyler Glasnow then closed it out for the Dodgers, throwing a perfect ninth inning to record the save.
Third Inning Proved to Be the Difference
Los Angeles did all their damage in one explosive third inning.
Will Smith doubled to left, scoring Tommy Edman and moving Shohei Ohtani to third.
Mookie Betts then singled to left, scoring both Ohtani and Smith to push the lead to 3-0.
Toronto answered in the bottom half when George Springer singled to center, scoring a run to make it 3-1.
Neither side scored again through the final six innings.

The Blue Jays out-hit the Dodgers 8-4 and accumulated more total bases, yet left eight runners stranded on the bases — a number that proved fatal to their hopes.
Toronto’s inability to produce runs despite generating contact was the defining statistical narrative of the night.
The Dodgers’ pitching staff bent but refused to break, limiting damage through every inning despite the Blue Jays consistently putting men on.
With the series knotted at three games apiece, Game 7 became a winner-take-all showdown between two evenly matched rosters whose full statistical picture still could not separate them.
