Chris Bassitt, who has been dominant in this series, is coming into the game for the Jays.

The momentum from Bichette’s home run and the benches-clearing fracas seems to have worn off, both for the players and the crowd.

Now, as we head to the sixth inning, this is a two-run ball game, and the Jays are still 12 outs from hoisting the Commissioner’s Trophy.

The bullpen has been good, but a few extra runs would sure make the relievers feel a lot better about attacking Dodgers batters.

Max Muncy made a leaping grab to take a hit away from Bichette to open the inning.

Barger broke his bat on a foul ball before striking out.

Kirk then reached out and flared a base hit into centre field to keep the inning alive.

Varsho grounded out to second.

Blue Jays legend José Bautista, seated in the crowd, just took the mic and fired up the crowd in the middle of the fifth.

A couple of rows behind him, fellow legend Edwin Encarnación put up his famous home-run parrot that he would take around the bases with him.

Both men have hit massive home runs for this franchise — and they witnessed another in Bichette’s earlier tonight.

Scherzer was back out to begin the inning and got Enrique Hernández to strike out on a swing he couldn’t check.

But then trouble. Rojas drilled a single into left, bringing up Ohtani and knocking Scherzer out of the game. Ohtani singled, putting two on with just one out.

But Louis Varland came in gunning and got Smith and Freeman to fly out.

The reliever has been entrusted throughout these playoffs to enter in the middle of innings when the previous pitcher had left a jam.

He’s been mostly dominant in those outings — and again here, he got the Dodgers’ No. 2 and 3 hitter to fly out, dousing and blanketing the threat before it burst into flames.

One day, Scherzer will have a Hall of Fame bust.

People will remember him for his intensity, his multi-coloured eyes and his dominance at his peak with the Washington Nationals and other teams.

Then, there will be an addendum: Scherzer also went 4.1 strong innings for the Blue Jays in Game 7 of the 2025 World Series in one last epic performance.

The ovation he received from the crowd on his way out — and his response back, pounding his chest and pointing back — was worthy of the moment.

Louis Varland came in to face Shohei Ohtani.

They could have watched it at a bar or in the comfort of their own home, but thousands came out again to Nathan Phillips Square, this time to watch the final game of the 2025 World Series.

It’s cold, and many are layered up, but this do-or-die Game 7 seems to have attracted the largest crowd since they’ve been hosting these watch parties, starting with Game 1.

It’s the site of Toronto’s city hall but during the World Series it has arguably become the largest outdoor watch party.

“Its just very good to be around people and be able to come together and watch the whole thing,” said Alex Budhram.

“When you’re at home you’re able to celebrate it by yourself and with your loved ones. But being able to come around people… it’s beautiful.”

Ariele Breedon said she brought her daughter Aubree and niece Alexis because she wanted them to experience this with everybody else.

It’s great, the atmosphere is great and we’re just waiting for them to win now.”

So after Giménez was plunked, Springer, as if for payback, ripped one off Wrobleski’s leg.

Lukes struck out swinging.

New pitcher Tyler Glasnow got Vladdy to fly out to end the threat.

The Dodgers’ Game 3 starter entered in the ninth inning last night and needed just three pitches to get out of the jam.

But the Blue Jays got to him in his first appearance, scoring four runs on five hits in 4.2 innings.

Still, he’s an accomplished, intimidating pitcher who’s seen plenty of the Blue Jays from his time with the Tampa Bay Rays.

He entered in the fourth inning.
