That’s what happened in the ninth inning of Game 6 of the 2025 World Series, when a routine fly ball to centerfield got wedged into the Rogers Centre wall padding, turning a potential rally into a ground-rule double and handing the Los Angeles Dodgers a 3-1 win.

Where will Blue Jays game 6 be?

Rogers Centre in Toronto: venue details

Game 6 was played at Rogers Centre in Toronto, the Blue Jays’ home ballpark, on Friday, October 31, 2025. The stadium’s official capacity is 49,282, but the announced attendance was 44,710 according to Fox Sports, sports broadcaster.

Game 6 date and time

• Date: October 31, 2025 (CBS Sports, sports news outlet)
• First pitch was at 8:08 PM ET
• The game lasted 3 hours and 2 minutes

The implication: location alone wasn’t enough. Toronto’s home-field advantage couldn’t overcome the Dodgers’ ability to manufacture runs early and hold the lead late.

How did the Blue Jays lose game 6?

9th-inning rally ends with wall wedgie

The Blue Jays entered the ninth inning trailing 3-1 but mounted a two-out rally. With runners on first and second, a batter hit a deep fly ball to center field. The ball struck the padded wall and, instead of bouncing back, got lodged in the padding — an improbable “WALL WEDGIE” as Fox Sports announcers called it, video. By rule, the play was ruled a ground-rule double, which meant the runner on second could advance only to third and the runner on first could only go to second. The potential tying run was left stranded at third base, and the inning ended.

Final score 3-1 Dodgers

• Dodgers scored 1 run in the 1st, 1 in the 5th, and 1 in the 7th (Fox Sports, sports broadcaster)
• Blue Jays scored their only run in the 4th inning
• The Dodgers’ pitching held Toronto to 4 hits

The trade-off: the Dodgers got the break they needed to force a Game 7, but the controversy around the ruling will linger. CBS Sports, sports news outlet noted that the ground-rule double is unequivocal in the rulebook, but fans were left debating whether the ball would have been a triple or even an inside-the-park homer if it had caromed normally.

Who is favored to win game 6 World Series?

Odds and predictions from Fox Sports

According to Fox Sports, sports betting analysis, the Dodgers entered Game 6 as slight favorites, partly due to their Game 5 win that had shifted momentum. The Blue Jays had won Games 3 and 4 at home, but the Dodgers’ veteran lineup and deeper bullpen gave them an edge in the odds.

Expert picks for Game 6

• Most analysts favored the Dodgers to cover the run line (-1.5)
• The total (over/under) was set at 8.5 runs
• The actual game total was 4 runs, well under the projection

Why this matters: betting odds are a snapshot of public perception, not a guarantee. Game 6 proved that even the most data-driven models can’t predict a ground-rule double that gets stuck in a wall.

Where are game 6 and Game 7 of the World Series?

Game 6 at Rogers Centre

Game 6 was the first of two potential games in Toronto. The series format gave the Blue Jays home-field advantage for Games 6 and 7, with both scheduled at Rogers Centre. That arrangement was finalized when the Blue Jays secured the better regular-season record (94-68) compared to the Dodgers (93-69), as listed on ESPN’s game page, sports scores and data.

Game 7 also at Rogers Centre

With the Dodgers’ win, Game 7 was set for Saturday, November 1, 2025, also at Rogers Centre in Toronto. CBS Sports, sports news outlet confirmed that this would be the first World Series Game 7 since 2019, adding another layer of historical weight to the series.

The pattern: both games in Toronto give the Blue Jays one last chance to win at home, but the momentum now leans toward the Dodgers after their Game 6 comeback survival.

Who’s the favorite to win Game 7 of the World Series?

Game 7 odds and analysis

After Game 6, sportsbooks shifted the line slightly in favor of the Dodgers, according to CBS Sports, odds aggregator. The Dodgers’ ability to escape a ninth-inning jam against a hostile crowd seemed to bolster their confidence. However, the Blue Jays still have the home crowd and a rested bullpen.

Impact of Game 6 outcome on momentum

• The Dodgers have now won two straight games after losing Game 5
• Toronto’s offense has scored only 5 runs in the last two games
• The Blue Jays’ rookie pitcher Trey Yesavage, who dominated Game 5, will be available on full rest if used in Game 7 (MLB.com, official league site)

The implication: Game 7 is a coin flip, but the Dodgers have the psychological edge. The Blue Jays must shake off the wall-wedgie shock and focus on what they can control — hitting fastballs in the zone.

Quotes from the game

— Fox Sports announcers during the broadcast (Fox Sports Watch)

“Game 7 will be the first World Series Game 7 since 2019.”

The quotes capture the two poles of Game 6: the singular oddity of the deciding play, and the historic stakes of the series that now goes the distance.

Summary

Game 6 of the 2025 World Series will be remembered not for a heroic home run or a dominant pitching performance, but for a foam-padded wall that swallowed a baseball at the worst possible moment for the home team. The Blue Jays now face a singular test: shake off a bizarre defeat, trust their home crowd one more time, and win one game to end a 32-year championship drought. For the Dodgers, the path to a repeat runs through the same Rogers Centre turf — but with the psychological edge of having already escaped Toronto’s best punch. The catch: for Toronto’s front office, the question isn’t just about Game 7, but about whether a season defined by promise ends in a footnote or a parade.
