TORONTO – More than three decades after Joe Carter touched them all, George Springer gave the Toronto Blue Jays another home run for the ages, vaulting them into the World Series for the first time since they won their second consecutive championship in 1993.

And then there were two. The 2025 World Series matchup is set, bringing together the defending champion Dodgers and a Blue Jays club making its first Fall Classic appearance since 1993. It’s a showdown few could have seen coming at the start of the season.

Shohei Ohtani hit a leadoff home run and homers in the fourth and seventh innings to send the Dodgers to the World Series for the second year in a row.

Cal Raleigh’s leadoff home run tied Game 5 of the American League Championship Series in the bottom of the eighth, and three batters later, Eugenio Suárez unleashed an opposite-field grand slam that lifted the Mariners to a 6-2 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays at T-Mobile Park.

The Mariners' chase for a chance in the World Series is being celebrated by fans of all ages, including some young baseball fans.

The Blue Jays will need Bichette to return at a high level in order to defeat the Dodgers in the World Series. While Los Angeles turned in a solid regular season, the team battled injuries and failed to win enough games to receive a bye in the first round of the playoffs.

If Shohei Ohtani and the Dodgers have their way, it’ll soon be replaced by the Commissioner’s Trophy, signifying a second straight World Series championship, a feat last accomplished by the New York Yankees 25 years ago. “I think everybody is locked and loaded and ready to see some history,” shortstop Mookie Betts said. “We’re ready to make it.”
