Get the latest World Series news as the Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays meet in Game 7 of the MLB championship.

The Blue Jays led most of the game, but Miguel Rojas' solo shot in the 9th kept the Dodgers alive. Will Smith's 11th-inning home run gave Los Angeles a lead it would not relinquish.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are champions once again.

Los Angeles trailed most of Game 7 — including in the ninth inning — but a solo home run by Miguel Rojas pushed it to extras before Will Smith’s 11th-inning solo shot gave the Dodgers a 5-4 lead they would not relinquish.

They became the first team to win consecutive World Series titles since the New York Yankees won three straight from 1998 to 2000.

The Dodgers trailed 3-1, then 4-2, but scored one in the eighth and another in the ninth to send it to extra innings. It was there that Smith took Shane Bieber’s slider 366 feet to the left field stands.
