TORONTO — In a World Series for the ages that went back and forth again and again, Will Smith delivered the biggest swing of all for the Dodgers.

Smith connected in the 11th for the first extra-inning homer in a winner-take-all title game, after teammate Miguel Rojas became the first player to hit a tying home run in the ninth inning of a Game 7. On a roller-coaster night of see-sawing emotions, the Dodgers outlasted the Toronto Blue Jays, 5-4, on Saturday to become MLB’s first repeat champion in a quarter century.

After throwing 96 pitches in a Game 6 win Friday, Yoshinobu Yamamoto tossed 34 more over 2⅔ innings for his third win of the Series. The World Series MVP finished the postseason 5-1 with a 1.45 ERA.

With their ninth championship and third in six years, the Dodgers made an argument for their 2020s teams to be considered a dynasty.

“To do what we’ve done in this span of time is pretty remarkable,” Manager Dave Roberts said. “I guess let the pundits and all the fans talk about if it’s a dynasty or not.”

Here are some images from one of the wildest Game 7s in World Series history.
