HOLLYWOOD MAYHEM MODE: The Dodgers don’t just survive — they blast into Game 7 on the back of an absurd double play that broke brains in real time and a controversial wedgie moment that blew up the internet like a sitcom collided with a war movie, turning the NLCS into pure LA-brand chaos. A team pushed to the edge rose with a “logic is dead and so are your expectations” energy, leaving the season dangling between destiny, madness, and straight-up baseball witchcraft. Now the sport trembles wondering if this run is fate, meme magic, or the universe quietly choosing the Dodgers — and Game 7 is about to prove it at maximum heart-attack levels..ll

The Los Angeles Dodgers ultimately outlasted the Blue Jays thanks to another hot start from Yoshinobu Yamamoto and a three-run third inning behind some clutch hitting from Mookie Betts. But a healthy dose of luck in the ninth inning certainly didn’t hurt.

In the bottom of the ninth inning of a must-win Game 6 of the 2025 World Series, Hernández and the Dodgers’ defense turned an unreal double play to stifle the Toronto Blue Jays’ rally and force a winner-take-all Game 7 on Saturday.

Addison Barger had hammered a ball into the left-center gap, but the ball got wedged between the turf and wall. It was ruled an automatic double, putting runners on second and third with no outs in the bottom of the ninth off rookie Dodgers closer Roki Sasaki.

The Dodgers then turned to Tyler Glasnow to get them out of the jam. Glasnow got Ernie Clement to pop up for the first out of the inning, but then it was Kiké Hernández’s time to shine. The Dodgers’ left fielder caught a line drive from Andrés Giménez and threw it to Miguel Rojas to double up Barger for a game-ending double play.

Hernández is known for his memorable October moments, but it’s going to be hard to top this one – and to think, it all started with a wedgie.

World Series wedgie saves Dodgers’ season, forces Game 7 vs. Blue Jays

The Dodgers, facing elimination for the first time this postseason, eked out a 3-1 win in Friday’s Game 6. If they end up winning their second consecutive World Series title, they may look back at that ninth-inning wedgie as the moment that saved their season.

When Barger hit the ball into the gap, the Blue Jays looked like they were on their way to a comeback – and maybe even a World Series championship. But the second the ball got stuck, everything changed.

Hernández and center fielder Justin Dean immediately threw their arms up to signal it should be a ground-rule double, and the umpires agreed. So, what should have been a scoring play for the Blue Jays ended up plating zero runs and stopping their comeback short.

The Dodgers were two outs away from forcing a Game 7, and they nearly blew it. Hopefully, luck (and the outfield padding) will still be on their side Saturday night.
