TORONTO — Those around the Dodgers know how valuable Miguel Rojas is to the team, even though some of his greatest moments take place behind the scenes.

But the entire baseball world was watching as Rojas finally got his World Series moment, saving the Dodgers’ season with the club down to its final two outs.

“It couldnâ€t have been a better guy,” Max Muncy said.

Rojas hit a game-tying homer off Blue Jays closer Jeff Hoffman in the top of the ninth, then made one of two key plays in the bottom of the inning to send Game 7 of the World Series to extras before the Dodgers repeated as champions with a 5-4 victory in 11 innings on Saturday night at Rogers Centre.

Rojas was an improbable hero in that this was just his second game in the starting lineup since the NLDS. Going back further, he had only one extra-base hit in 20 prior postseason games in his career.

Nevertheless, with one out in the ninth, manager Dave Roberts trusted him to extend the inning. Rojas had been looking to get on base to flip the lineup over for leadoff man Shohei Ohtani, but when he got a hanging 3-2 slider from Hoffman, he knew just what to do with it.

“It was right in my zone where I do damage,” Rojas said, “and then it happened.”

Rojas was fired up as he rounded the bases, gesturing toward his teammates in the visitors’ dugout. Roberts threw up his hands in elation, relief plain on his face. And the noise from a Rogers Centre crowd that had been waiting to unload was dampened.

But in the next half-inning, the bases were full of Blue Jays with one out, the Dodgers’ season on the line once more.

Yamamoto, who had inherited two runners but hit Alejandro Kirk to load the bases, got Daulton Varsho to hit a sharp grounder to the right side of the infield. Rojas, playing a drawn-in second base, got a glove on the ball, reversed his backward momentum and threw home to cut down the would-be go-ahead run just in time.

The critical play aggravated something around the rib area for Rojas, who had been unsure if he would be available to be in the starting lineup earlier in the day. He was later replaced at second by Hyeseong Kim.

“He is just the ultimate gamer,” president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman said. “The plays he made last night on defense were a huge part of us winning that game. And obviously, didn’t necessarily expect him to hit the homer there, but it just speaks to who he is and how he competes.”

There was still one more out to get, and it came by way of Pages, who had been benched from the starting lineup after hitting .080. He was inserted into center field in place of Tommy Edman after Yamamoto hit Kirk, and it wasn’t long before a ball was hit his way.

Ernie Clement, fresh off setting a single-postseason record with his 30th hit, sent a fly ball to the warning track in left center that would have given the Blue Jays a walk-off Game 7 victory, had it fallen. Left fielder Kiké Hernández tried to get under it, but Pages raced in from center and snagged it, covering 123 feet.

Hernández was knocked to the ground in the process and laid there, prone, for a spell.

“I was just down because I thought we lost,” he said.

Instead, the Dodgers were out of the inning and one step closer to a championship.

For Rojas, who made his big league debut with the Dodgers in 2014 and is planning to retire after the ’26 season, having a big ninth inning on both sides of the ball to extend his team’s season was special. He is an impending free agent but has already expressed a desire to play his final year in L.A.

His teammates could think of no one better to have that moment.

“The game honors you,” Freddie Freeman said. “Miguel’s been grinding, just doing whatever he could to help this team win. To come up with that moment when you’re 36 years old and says he’s going to retire after next season, to have that moment in the World Series in Game 7, just absolutely incredible. It saved our year.”

England failed to overcome another grim batting failure as New Zealand edged to a two-wicket victory in the third one-day international in Wellington to send the tourists to Australia on the back of a 3-0 series defeat.

England’s top order folded once more, bowled out for the third match in a row to continue a worrying trend leading into the Ashes later this month, before New Zealand threatened to botch a chase of 223.

They were cruising at 187-5, needing only 35 from 87 balls, only to lose captain Mitchell Santner for 27 and Daryl Mitchell for 44 in a collapse of 3-8.

That left 27 to get with two wickets remaining but hope of an unlikely, morale-boosting victory for England was snuffed out by an unbroken ninth-wicket partnership between Zak Foulkes and Blair Tickner.

England’s bowling effort was admirable – this defeat instead down to their latest top-order collapse, which left them 44-5.

Joe Root was out for two, captain Harry Brook six and Ben Duckett eight and they only cleared 200 thanks to Jamie Overton’s 68 – his first ODI fifty.

Seven of this XI now travel to Perth to ramp up their preparation for the highly-anticipated series against Australia, which begins on 21 November.

They play only one warm-up – a three-day match against England Lions – leaving little opportunity for those struggling batters to find form before the series opener.

Brook’s 50-over side, meanwhile, have lost 11 of their 15 matches this year and require an upturn in fortunes when they return to action in the new year or else their direct qualification for the 2027 World Cup will come under significant threat.

It has been a while since Vítor Pereira ventured into The Moon Under Water, the Wolverhampton city-centre Wetherspoons where last season he savoured victories with supporters. Now Wolves are at risk of drowning in the Premier League, bottom after taking two points from their opening nine games and without a win in six months. Supporters have made their anger plain but the Wolves head coach insists he is au fait with the pressure. “I remember in Porto after a draw it was impossible to go into a restaurant to eat with my family,†Pereira says. “This is football.â€

For Wolves supporters, this campaign has descended into one big, fat told-you-so. Wolves have been stuck in a negative cycle and after another slow start fans are worried this will be the season they fail to escape and spiral into the Championship. Pereira rescued them after arriving last Christmas but much of his credit has evaporated. With every game comes increased pressure. “Iâ€m a fighter,†he says. “The pressure is what I put on myself. I donâ€t feel the pressure, believe me. The pressure is important to be alert … if you donâ€t feel anything, youâ€re too relaxed. If you donâ€t accept the criticism or pressure, you must go to another job.â€

Wolves have seen this film before. They waited until last December to dispense with Gary Oâ€Neil and Julen Lopetegui left of his own volition on the eve of the previous season. Before him, Bruno Lage made it until the beginning of October. Nuno Espírito Santo left by mutual consent in May 2021 after four largely golden years and Fosun, Wolvesâ€s Chinese owner, pines for stability. It will not get it if bad results continue, with Saturdayâ€s trip to Fulham the next hurdle. The soul-destroying thing for supporters is they saw this coming. It has been signposted for a while.

The decision to reward Pereira with a three-year contract in September amid a poor start looks peculiar now but had long been mooted. Wolves prioritised the summer transfer window and believed this season could be different. Matheus Cunha, Rayan Aït-Nouri and Nélson Semedo departed but they retained Jørgen Strand Larsen, rejecting a bid from Newcastle totalling £55m, which would have earned them handsome profit, and convinced him to sign a new contract. It feels like deja vu given Oâ€Neil and his staff were given fresh contracts the previous summer.

Wolves are haemorrhaging goals – only West Ham have conceded more in the top flight – and have been punished for slow starts and careless finishes. They surrendered leads against Brighton and Tottenham and after clawing back to 2-2 from two goals down at home to Burnley last Sunday they conceded a stoppage-time winner. They have given up seven points across three of their past four league games with goals conceded in the 86th minute or later. In the Carabao Cup against Chelsea on Wednesday, after dragging themselves back into the game from 3-0 down, they allowed 10-man opponents to re-establish a two-goal buffer.

Strand Larsenâ€s one league goal has come from a penalty against Burnley and only Nottingham Forest have scored fewer league goals. Bart Verbruggen, whose own goal gave Wolves the lead against Brighton last month, has as many league goals for Wolves as any Wolves player. This time last year Oâ€Neil could point to a wretched run of fixtures. This season Wolves have been beaten by all three promoted teams.

Pereira has struggled to land on his best team and flip-flopped with his selections, some more curious than others. João Gomes and André, the Brazil midfielders and probably Wolves†most talented players, have been dropped. He has not named the same defence since an alarming defeat at Bournemouth in the second game. Since then Pereira has flitted between systems and personnel, switching from his favoured 3-4-3 to a four-man defence. Sam Johnstone has replaced José Sá as his first-choice goalkeeper. Toti Gomes, named club captain at the start of the season, has played one league minute since being withdrawn at home to Leeds. The same goes for Emmanuel Agbadou, a January signing integral to their upturn last season.

There are also questions around leadership, with Toti one of six players to wear the armband across nine league matches. Strand Larsen became the latest, after Hugo Bueno, João Gomes, Matt Doherty and Sá. In a season where experienced performers such Kyle Walker, arguably the best player on the pitch at Molineux last weekend, Granit Xhaka and Jordan Henderson have driven impressive team performances, it feels a salient point. Those kinds of signings fly in the face of Wolves†policy to generally recruit younger players with resale value.

A lot of Wolves†problems go back to recruitment. There have been several success stories but there is not much wriggle room. Jackson Tchatchoua, Ladislav Krejci, Jhon Arias, Fer López, David Møller Wolfe and Tolu Arokodare arrived without Premier League experience. Johnstoneâ€s signing from Crystal Palace last August was the last time they did a deal with another Premier League club.

Wolves want to give Pereira time to turn things around. Despite results, it is hard to argue the players are not playing for the Portuguese, given the way they stirred against Burnley and salvaged some credit at home to Chelsea. Last season under Oâ€Neil Wolves felt there were more problems permeating the squad, chiefly ill-discipline, disharmony and a lack of belief from players and staff. “Itâ€s the first time in my career I am facing this kind of situation,†says Pereira, this his 14th club. “I am resilient. I have confidence in the work, in my players and that we have the conditions to tackle the situation.â€

The lights briefly went off as Pereira fielded questions about his future inside a room at Wolves†Compton training base on Friday. Has he been pleasantly surprised by the internal support given the shelf life of managers in this era?

“You know why?†he says. “Because they work every day with me and my staff. They know the way that we are working, fighting, trying to find solutions, to keep the spirit, to defend the club. And because we proved that last season in a few months that we can get results and play good football. This season has been more difficult. Today is what we must live by. Tomorrow: be focused to compete at our level and try to get the result. The future? I donâ€t know if I will be there or not.â€

Tottenhamâ€s aerial prowess under Thomas Frank brought Everton plummeting back to earth at Hill Dickinson Stadium. Spurs inflicted Evertonâ€s first defeat at their new home courtesy of three headed goals, two from the outstanding Micky van de Ven, to rise to third in the Premier League and maintain their dominant form on the road.

The disconnect at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium stands in stark contrast to the ruthless efficiency of Frankâ€s team away from home. Van de Ven converted two corners before substitute Pape Matar Sarr banished any prospect of an Everton recovery with another close-range header in the 89th minute. Given the glaring absence of a quality striker in David Moyes†squad, the prospect of an Everton comeback was always remote despite the probings of Iliman Ndiaye, James Garner, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Jack Grealish. It is now 13 points from a possible 15 for Frankâ€s side on their travels this season.

The contest was shaped by corners and Van de Venâ€s domineering presence at both ends of the pitch. Everton matched Spurs for enterprising approach work but had no answer to the quality of the visitors†set-piece delivery or their captainâ€s aerial strength. The boos that greeted the half-time whistle were aimed squarely at referee Craig Pawson, however.

Grealish almost started where he left off last time out at Hill Dickinson Stadium by putting Everton ahead from close range. The superb Ndiaye scorched past Djed Spence to set up Beto but, after the hapless centre-forward failed to connect, Grealish arrived at the back post and saw a goal-bound drive blocked in front of the line by Pedro Porro. Dewsbury-Hall sliced the loose ball high and wide.

Rodrigo Bentancur and Xavi Simons both troubled the Everton defence as an open, flowing game allowed the respective midfields to impress. But it was a central defender who took centre stage. From a Mohammed Kudus corner swept high to the back post, Bentancur directed the ball back across goal with his shoulder for Van de Ven to nod in from a yard out.

It was the first goal Everton have conceded from a set piece all season and Spurs†first attempt on target. It became two set-piece goals conceded in first-half stoppage time when the visitors†accuracy under Frank punished Moyes†team again. Porro was the provider, this time from the left with a brilliant, vicious corner that demanded a finish. Van de Ven applied it once the inswinging delivery sailed over James Tarkowski and before Jordan Pickfordâ€s fists could connect. The defenderâ€s two first-half headers must have come from a combined distance of two yards out.

Spurs†second arrived during seven minutes of time added on mainly for the decision to disallow a towering header by Jake Oâ€Brien moments after Van de Venâ€s opener. The Everton defender thought he had equalised from another fine corner, taken by Dewsbury-Hall, and a header that gave Guglielmo Vicario no chance in the Spurs†goal. Everton celebrations were diluted when the video assistant referee advised Pawson to inspect the pitch-side monitor.

They were spoiled completely when the match official deemed that Ndiaye and Grealish were both offside and interfering with Vicario. The pair were clearly in an offside position when Oâ€Brien connected but the extent to which they interfered with the goalkeeper was highly debatable. Pawsonâ€s on-field explanation was inaudible amid the jeers that drowned him out.

Everton responded well to the blows, particularly after the restart. Beto, who failed to read an inviting cross across the face of goal from Ndiaye in the first half, almost atoned with an overhead kick from the Senegal internationalâ€s cross. Vicario produced an excellent reflex save to deny the No 9. Spurs†commitment to a clean sheet was exemplified by João Palhinha throwing himself in the way of Idrissa Gueyeâ€s volley late on. Richarlison should have extended the visitors†lead when a long ball caught out Tarkowski and left him through on goal, but Pickford spread himself well to thwart the former Everton striker.

Richarlison was heavily involved in Spurs†third, however, cushioning a header from another accurate Porro centre back across goal for Sarr to head beyond Pickford.

Mikel Arteta hailed Arsenalâ€s 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace as the most valuable of the season after seeing his side open up a four-point lead at the Premier Leagueâ€s summit.

In what was a nervous Sunday afternoon at the Emirates Stadium, Eberechi Ezeâ€s powerful first-half shot against his former club proved to be the winner. With Liverpool slipping to a fourth straight league defeat at Brentford on Saturday, Arsenal finished the weekend seven points clear of the defending champions.

“I told the boys that I value more this victory than any other victory this season,†Arteta said. “We knew the difficulty of it after playing every three days. It was a big opportunity as well, with the things that happened during the weekend.

“But I knew we were playing against a team who have, in my opinion, been one of the best in terms of organisation and how frustrated they can make you. The moment you lose concentration they will punish you.â€

Manchester City, after a 1-0 loss at Aston Villa on Sunday, find themselves six points behind Arsenal. Arteta was keen, however, to pour cold water on any title talk. “We are where we are,†he said. “Itâ€s a credit to us, because weâ€ve been very, very consistent knowing the difficulty of every match as well. It is early and doesnâ€t mean anything other than, ‘letâ€s keep doing a lot of things like weâ€re doing really well.†But there are things to improve to give us better margins.â€

Ezeâ€s goal was his first in the Premier League since joining from Crystal Palace for £67.5m in August. “He did it very similarly last year, but against us,†Arteta said smiling. “We know against a team that defends with so many bodies, doesnâ€t allow any space, you have to generate chaos or open spaces to generate big chances. He took the goal really well.â€

Arteta could not confirm the extent of the injuries that forced off William Saliba and Declan Rice. The substitute Gabriel Martinelli was also “a bit uncomfortable†by the end.

NEWARK, N.J. — Nico Daws made 29 saves, Paul Cotter, Brenden Dillon and rookie Arseny Gritsyuk scored and the New Jersey Devils beat the Minnesota Wild 4-1 on Wednesday night for their sixth straight victory.

New Jersey began the streak after an opening loss at Carolina, winning three each at home and on the road. The winning streak is the Devils’ longest since a 13-game run early in the 2022-23 season.

Jesper Bratt had an empty-net goal, and Dawson Mercer added two assists.

Cotter opened the scoring with 3:39 left in the first, jamming a loose puck past goalie Filip Gustavsson for his first of the season.

Dillon made it 2-0 with his second goal this season — and second in two nights — at 6:08 of the middle period.

The 24-year-old Gritsyuk, a fifth-round draft in 2019, scored his first NHL goal on the power play at 4:53 of the third.

Minnesotaâ€s Matt Boldy ruined Daws†shutout bid with his fifth goal midway through the third.

Daws made his season debut after Jake Allen won New Jerseyâ€s three previous contests. Starter Jacob Markstrom was injured in a victory at Columbus on Oct. 13.

It was a bittersweet night at TNA Victory Road as Ash By Elegance announced that she’d be stepping away from in-ring action and accordingly vacating the TNA Knockouts Championship she had won just a month earlier. Within hours, Ash’s former protege Kelani Jordan then claimed the title for herself by conquering a battle royal and Lei Ying Lee. While appearing on the “Battleground Podcast,” Jordan reflected on her Knockouts Championship win.

“It doesn’t feel real,” she said. “It’s honestly like just a surreal moment. I still feel like I’m in a fever dream because I never would have thought in a billion years that I would have an action figure. And also being able to be champion, it’s crazy.

“The day was crazy. I was not expecting that,” she continued. “Of course, I believe in myself and all that, but I was not expecting that. It was my first time in TNA. When I found out Ash was vacating the title, I did feel sad because I know how much she cares, how much she wanted to elevate that title. Also, Ash has a special place in my heart because she was my mentor here in NXT. So I’m happy that I was able to get the title from her and be able to carry what she wanted to do.”

Following her triumph at Victory Road, Jordan faced the first test of her Knockouts Championship reign when she defended the title against Indi Hartwell at TNA Bound For Glory. Hartwell, the in-ring veteran, put up a valiant effort against the former gymnast, but it wasn’t enough to defeat her. Jordan retained the Knockouts Championship by nailing Hartwell with a split legged moonsault.
