• In the 11th, Will Smith hit a key home run, putting L.A. in the lead and starting the celebration.
• Shohei Ohtani, a two-way star, gave his best even on short rest. He struggled early but found redemption as his teammates supported him in the dugout.
• Yamamoto came in as a reliever for 2⅔ innings in Game 7, earning his third win of the Series. He allowed one hit but kept his cool, handled tough situations, and finished with a double play to secure the championship.
