1. What is the longest World Series game ever?
Record Game
The longest game in the history of the World Series in terms of innings is 18 innings. Dodger Blue+4AS USA+4Wikipedia+4
Specifically, Game 3 of the 2018 World Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Boston Red Sox lasted 18 innings and about 7 hours 20 minutes. AS USA+2Heavy+2
According to one source: “At 18 innings and seven hours and 20 minutes, this contest became the longest World Series game by both innings and time.” Wikipedia+1
Extra-innings context
When we talk about “extra innings” in a World Series game, this record is significant. The 2018 game had 9 extra innings (beyond 9 regular innings) in that one game. Wikipedia+1
It remains the only World Series game to go 18 innings. CBS Sports
2. Did the Dodgers end a game late? What time did the Dodgers game end last night?
You asked: “what time did the Dodgers game end last night / what time did World Series game end” etc.
I don’t have the exact local time stamp for when the game ended last night (in your local time zone or in full). What is known:
-
In Game 3 of the 2025 World Series, the Dodgers defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 6-5 in 18 innings, tying the longest-by-innings World Series game record. Reuters
-
That game lasted “almost six hours and 40 minutes” per one report. Reuters
Since the game ended in the very early hours (for e.g., Pacific Time), if you convert to your time zone (India, Asia/Kolkata), you’d have to add +12.5 to +13 hours (depending on daylight savings) to approximate.
If you like, I can check the exact local time the game ended (stadium/west coast US time) and then convert to India time.
3. What is a “walk-off home run”?
Definition
A “walk-off home run” is a home run hit by the home team in the bottom of the final inning (9th inning or extra innings) that immediately ends the game because the run(s) give that team the lead and the opponent has no further turn. Wikipedia+1
How it works
-
The home team bats in the bottom of the inning.
-
They hit a home run that scores enough runs to surpass the opponent’s total in that inning.
-
Once the winning run scores, the game ends immediately — no further plays are required. AS USA+1
-
The term “walk-off” comes from the idea that the visiting team walks off the field as the game ends. Reddit
Walk-off home run in World Series context
Such home runs are especially dramatic in postseason/playoff series because of the stakes. For example: Freddie Freeman (see below) hit a walk-off home run in the 18-inning Game 3 of the 2025 World Series. MLB.com
4. Who is Freddie Freeman & his current status (2025)?

-

Injury / status notes

5. How many games are in the World Series / What format?
The World Series (in most years) is a best-of-seven series — the first team to 4 wins clinches the title. MLB.com+1
Exceptions in history: In the years 1919-1921 the Series was best-of-nine. MLB.com
So when you ask “how many games in the World Series” the answer: up to 7 games; could end in fewer if one team wins 4 straight.
6. Who won the 2018 World Series?
