Game 3 of the World Series last night ran for about six hours and 39 minutes, making it one of the longest World Series games ever played.

What happened

  • The Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays went all the way to 18 innings before the game finally ended.
  • The Dodgers won 6–5 on a walk-off home run, capping a marathon that tied the record for most innings in a World Series game and ranked among the longest by time at 6:39.

Why it’s a big deal

  • This game matched the all-time World Series record of 18 innings, previously set in 2018, and its 6-hour-plus length puts it right near the top of the record books for duration.
  • Fans and commentators are already talking about it as an instant classic and one of those late-October epics people will reference whenever extra-innings chaos comes up.
