Description

Pia Toscano sang the American national anthem and Noah Reid sang the Canadian national anthem. Jack Morris and Paul Molitor threw out the ceremonial first pitch. Blue Jays' Game 7 starter Max Scherzer was matched against two-way player Shohei Ohtani, making his first start ever of three day's rest. Scherzer became the oldest pitcher to start a winner-take-all World Series game. Coincidentally, Scherzer also started in the last Game 7 of a World Series in 2019.

In the bottom of the second inning, Ohtani escaped a two-out bases-loaded jam by striking out Andrés Giménez to keep the game scoreless. In the bottom of the third inning, a single by George Springer and a walk to Vladimir Guerrero Jr. preceded a three-run home run by Bo Bichette to give the Blue Jays a 3–0 lead. Ohtani pitched 2+1⁄3 innings, allowing five hits, three runs, and walking two batters while striking out three. The Dodgers loaded the bases in the top of the fourth inning and scored a run on a sacrifice fly by Teoscar Hernández, scoring Will Smith. In the bottom of the fourth inning with one out, Justin Wrobleski hit Giménez with a pitch that resulted in a benches-clearing incident when Giménez argued with Wrobleski. Scherzer pitched 4+1⁄3 innings, allowing four hits, one run, and walking one batter while striking out three. In the top of the sixth inning, a sacrifice fly by Tommy Edman scored Mookie Betts to cut the Blue Jays' lead to 3–2. In the bottom of the sixth inning, Giménez hit an RBI double, scoring Ernie Clement to extend the lead to 4–2. In the top of the eighth inning, Max Muncy hit a solo home run to cut the Dodgers' deficit to 4–3. Ernie Clement hit a leadoff double in the eighth inning, setting a record for hits in a MLB postseason with 30. In the top of the ninth inning, Miguel Rojas hit a one-out home run off Blue Jays closer Jeff Hoffman to tie the game at 4–4. Rojas became the first player in MLB history with a game-tying home run in the ninth inning or later of a World Series Game 7. According to ESPN Insights, the Blue Jays had a 91.7 percent chance to win Game 7 up 4–3 at the start of the ninth inning.
