It was the story of “so close, yet so far” for the Toronto Blue Jays in the 2025 World Series. The American League side suffered a crushing Game 7 loss against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday. Team superstar Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was left devastated and in tears in the Blue Jays dugout.

He and his team landed the opening blow in this game. A 3-run home run from Bo Bichette against Shohei Ohtani in the bottom of the 3rd inning put them 3-0 up.

The Dodgers pulled one run back through a sacrifice fly from Teoscar Hernandez. In the top of the 6th inning, another sacrifice fly, this time from Tommy Edman made it a 3-2 game.

The Blue Jays established a 2-run lead in the next frame. A double from Andres Gimenez put them 4-2 up and in a commanding position.

However, two solo home runs, one from Max Muncy in the 8th and the other from Miguel Rojas in the 9th inning, saw the Dodgers tie the game at 4-4. In the bottom of the 9th inning, the Blue Jays squandered the chance of walking it off while having the bases loaded and one out.

The Blue Jays got their heart broken in the 11th inning. A third solo home run of the game for the Dodgers from Will Smith put them 5-4 up. Despite a double from Vladimir Guerrero Jr. in the bottom of the 11th inning, the Canadian outfit was unable to get back on terms and lost the game and the World Series.

It was a tough loss for the Blue Jays. The hosts were 2 outs away in the 9th inning from winning it all for the first time since 1993. They ended up blowing a 3-0 and 4-2 lead in this game.

Following their loss, an emotional Guerrero Jr. was seen with tears in his eyes. The first baseman was left devastated in the dugout as the Dodgers scripted an epic comeback.

The 5-time All-Star was also the last Blue Jays member to leave the dugout.

Had the Blue Jays won, Guerrero Jr. would have likely been named the MVP of the World Series. That honor went to Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who came out from the bench in the 9th inning and pitched 2.2 scoreless innings on zero days’ rest.

They had a golden chance to walk off the game in the 9th after Yoshinobu Yamamoto loaded up the bases by hitting Alejandro Kirk. Miguel Rojas prevented them from walking it off with a smart defensive play. A great catch from Andy Pages after colliding with Enrique Hernandez saw the Dodgers escape the jam.

While speaking with the reporters after the game, Guerrero Jr. expressed gratitude towards the fans and apologized for their loss.

I got to be very thankful, very grateful for our fans, for the city… I’m sorry, because we couldn’t give that title that we know the entire city wants.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. said through his interpreter

This was the Blue Jays’ first appearance in the World Series since 1993. The wait for the third World Series title will now stretch into another year.

As for the Dodgers, they are now the first team since the New York Yankees in 2000 to go back-to-back as World Series champions. It is their 9th title and is the first time where they have successfully defended their crown.
