The Los Angeles Dodgers have made history by becoming the first team in 25 years to win back-to-back World Series titles, defeating the Toronto Blue Jays 5-4 after an exhilarating extra-inning game seven.

In a spectacular finale played at the Rogers Centre, Dodgers catcher Will Smith delivered a critical home run in the top of the 11th inning to break a tense deadlock. As Alejandro Kirk grounded into a double play with the tying run on third, celebrations erupted among the Dodgers' fans and players.

Initially trailing 3-0 due to Bo Bichette's impressive three-run homer, the Dodgers clawed back with solo homers from Max Muncy and Miguel Rojas, leveling the score at 4-4 by the top of the ninth inning.

The Dodgers now hold the title for their ninth World Series championship overall, marking their third championship in just six years under the leadership of manager Dave Roberts, an impressive feat that brings them closer to the legendary Yankees, the last team to claim consecutive titles in 2000.
