Shohei Ohtani pitched in Game 7 of the 2025 World Series, allowing a three-run homer, and the Dodgers lost to the Blue Jays in 11 innings.

Shohei Ohtani was pulled from Game 7 of the 2025 World Series in the third inning after allowing Bo Bichette’s three-run homer, a pivotal moment in the Toronto Blue Jays’ 5-4 victory in 11 innings. Pitching on three days of rest, Ohtani struggled with control, walking two and throwing a wild pitch before the home run, which came after a lengthy warm-up period that drew criticism from Blue Jays manager John Schneider and prompted umpire intervention. Despite the rough outing, Ohtani made history by becoming the first starting pitcher with a hit in a World Series Game 7 since 1986 and the second player ever with multiple hits in a winner-take-all game he pitched in. The Dodgers lost the game, ending their bid for a repeat championship.
