TORONTO – The Toronto Blue Jays lost Game 7 of the World Series in heartbreaking fashion Saturday night as the Los Angeles Dodgers came back for a 5-4 win in 11 innings.

Will Smith’s tiebreaking home run off Shane Bieber was the difference. The Blue Jays had runners on the corners in the bottom of the 11th but Yoshinobu Yamamoto got Alejandro Kirk to ground into a game-ending double play.

The Dodgers came streaming out of the dugout in celebration while the sellout crowd of 44,713 at Rogers Centre was silenced.

The Blue Jays had a 4-3 lead in the ninth inning but closer Jeff Hoffman gave up a solo shot to Miguel Rojas that tied it.

Toronto loaded the bases in the bottom of the ninth but centre-fielder Andy Pages ran down Ernie Clement’s deep drive at the wall to force extra innings.
