The only run allowed by the Dodgers was a first-inning home run by Randy Arozarena off of Tony Gonsolin, the first of seven pitchers they used.
The Dodgers scored twice in the sixth inning, and capped things with a solo home run by Mookie Betts in the eighth.
Shortstop Corey Seager was named World Series Most Valuable Player, after having also been the National League Championship Series MVP. He hit eight homers and had 20 RBIs in the postseaon.
The Los Angeles Dodgers’ joy at winning the World Series was tarnished somewhat by news that came during the game that third baseman Justin Turner had tested positive for the coronavirus, leading him to be removed from the game after the seventh inning.
Because of that, he wasn't on the field as the Dodgers celebrated, but came out about an hour after the game and posed for the team photo. He tweeted, “I feel great, no symptoms at all.”
The development was perhaps fitting for a season that didn't start until late July and was abbreviated to 60 games with an expanded postseason because of the coronavirus.
