2025 World Series Game 4: Live updates and analysis - ESPN

Let's play another 18!

After an epic Game 3 that went a record-tying 18 innings, Game 4 of the 2025 World Series will be a true test for both the Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays. Can the Dodgers ride the high of Freddie Freeman's walk-off home run to a third straight victory, or will the Blue Jays' bats bounce back to tie the Fall Classic at two games apiece? What will Shohei Ohtani — who will be on the mound for L.A. — do for an encore after a history-making night at the plate?

In other words: What can we expect?

From the pregame lineups to in-game analysis and our postgame takeaways, we've got you covered on another big (and long?) night at Dodger Stadium.
