Dramatic marathon match: Dodgers defeat Blue Jays in the World Series!

On October 28, 2025, the Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays played a marathon World Series match, considered one of the longest games in football history. The incredibly exciting third game lasted an incredible 6 hours and 39 minutes and ended with a narrow 6-5 victory for the Dodgers. Freddie Freeman secured the win with a walk-off home run in the 18th inning. This game set a new record for the longest World Series game, with the previous record game, which lasted 7 hours and 20 minutes, occurring in 2018 when the Dodgers took on the Red Sox.

With this win, the Dodgers have taken the lead in the best-of-seven series and are now 2-1 over the Blue Jays. The Dodgers are the defending champions, looking to successfully defend their title from last season, while the Toronto Blue Jays have been waiting for the chance to become champions again since 1993.

A thrilling duel

The game featured changing leads and impressive pitching performances on both sides. The Dodgers opened the scoring with a solo home run by Shohei Ohtani in the third inning and another run in the fifth inning. However, the Blue Jays pushed back in the sixth inning and took the lead 5-4 thanks to a three-run home run by Alejandro Kirk. Ohtani then tied the game again in the seventh inning.

Things got particularly tense in the 18th inning when Dodgers pitcher Will Klein, who had never pitched more than two innings on the big stage before, had to overcome several challenges and keep the game at 5-5. The skills of both teams were shown again in this long, nerve-wracking game.

A milestone in the World Series

With this game, the 2025 World Series went into the history books. The term “world”, also understood in a sporting context, refers to the totality of all experiences in sports and refers to the great importance of so-called international competitions. Such events bring people together and demonstrate the diversity and unity that sport can promote. The tension and emotions that arise from such prolonged games are part of the overall spectacle that makes the World Series so captivating for viewers.

The next game, scheduled for Tuesday at Dodger Stadium, promises to be another exciting episode in this competitive season and could have a decisive impact on the series.
