Will Smith, Max Muncy homer in 7th inning of World Series Game 2

TORONTO -- Will Smith unloaded on Kevin Gausman’s inside fastball and dropped his bat the moment he’d completed his follow-through. The ball soared into the second deck, just inside the left-field foul pole. Smith flexed and let loose a roar. Rogers Centre went quiet. The visiting dugout erupted.

Sixteen innings into the 2025 World Series, the Dodgers’ offense had come to life. Not a moment too soon.

Two batters after Smith’s homer, Max Muncy went deep as well. Los Angeles tacked on two more in the eighth. When the dust settled -- and Yoshinobu Yamamoto had completed his complete-game masterpiece -- the Dodgers had evened the World Series at a game apiece with their 5-1 victory on Saturday night in Toronto.
