The Dodgers won the series 2-1 after a marathon 18-inning game at Dodger Stadium. The 18-inning marathon tied with the Dodgers’ epic game from 2018, which was the longest World Series matchup in history. Freddie Freeman, and not Max Muncy this time, sent a sold-out audience into a frenzy by becoming the first World Series player ever to hit two walk-off homeruns. Where does the game played last night rank in terms of the longest games ever played at the World Series. We’ll look at some of the most epic, grueling marathons that have ever taken place in the Fall Classic.

Max Muncy’s walk-off homer in the bottom of 18th inning, nearly seven and half hours after the first pitch, made Game 3 of 2018 World Series against the Dodgers an instant classic. The combined 18 pitchers of the two teams threw more than 560 pitch, breaking previous records.

Los Angeles and Toronto’s Game 3 tied the record for longest 18-inning game with a 6 hour and 39 minute marathon. Freeman’s solo home run off Blue Jays’ relief pitcher Chad Green concluded a back-and forth slugfest in which both teams traded leads and emptied their respective bullpens.
