The Toronto Blue Jays battered the defending champion Dodgers, 11-4, to take a 1-0 series lead. Daulton Varsho's two-run home run in the fourth inning tied the game and kicked off Toronto's powerful offensive display.
Toronto scored nine runs in the sixth inning as the Dodgers' bullpen disintegrated on the grand stage. The inning was highlighted by Addison Barger hitting the first pinch-hit grand slam in World Series history.
After allowing just two earned runs in 21 innings this postseason, Blake Snell had a rough start in the World Series opener. He allowed five earned runs and eight hits, retiring just 12 of the 24 batters he faced.
Despite Shohei Ohtani continuing his stellar play with a two-run home run in the seventh inning, the blast was not enough to spark a Dodgers rally. The home run only cut the significant deficit to 11-4.
The Dodgers turn to Yoshinobu Yamamoto (2-1, 1.83 ERA) to face the Blue Jays' ace, Kevin Gausman (2-1, 2.00 ERA), in a crucial Game 2. Los Angeles hopes to avoid going down 0-2, a deficit from which road teams have only come back to win the series 19.3% of the time in a best-of-seven series.
