The regular season began in Tokyo, Japan. That’s where the Dodgers took on the Chicago Cubs in the first couple games of the 2025 campaign.
And now the season will come to an end in Canada.

Their hero, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., launched an early two-run home run off Shohei Ohtani in Game 4. That was a 2-1 lead most of the way before a four-run seventh broke it open.
