Dodgers Claim Epic Game 3 of 2025 World Series

In a thrilling and nail-biting matchup, the Los Angeles Dodgers emerged victorious over the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 3 of the 2025 World Series, winning 6-5 after an exhausting 18 innings. This game will be remembered as one of the greatest in World Series history.

Manager Dave Roberts, speaking to reporters after the epic encounter, expressed the emotional toll of the game, stating, "It's one of the greatest World Series games of all time. I'm spent emotionally." The drama intensified when Shohei Ohtani tied the game at 5-5 with a solo home run in the bottom of the seventh inning, a pivotal moment that reignited the Dodgers’ hopes.

Both teams had opportunities to seize the win throughout the tournament, but it came down to the bottom of the 18th inning. Freddie Freeman, the potential future Hall of Fame first baseman, rose to the occasion, hitting a decisive solo shot off Blue Jays reliever Brendon Little, sealing the victory for Los Angeles and giving them a 2-1 series lead. The home crowd at Dodger Stadium erupted as Freeman's heroics unfolded.

This historic showdown matched the record for the longest game in World Series history, equaling the 18-inning contest between the Dodgers and the Boston Red Sox in 2018. Freeman's performance continues to impress baseball fans, harkening back to his memorable contributions when he helped the Dodgers clinch the World Series last year, where he garnered the World Series MVP title.

While both teams were challenged after such an arduous battle, the Dodgers are set to carry this momentum into Game 4, scheduled for Tuesday night. The spotlight is now on them as they strive to maintain their edge in this hard-fought championship series.
