"Things kicked off with a system shock as the Blue Jays got back-to-back homers leading off the game, and things didn't really get much better, as the offense continued to get absolutely dominated and the Blue Jays tacked on insurance runs thanks to sloppy defense. Not unlike most of the series, the Dodgers were simply outplayed by the Blue Jays in all facets in a 6-1 loss."
"He struggled to put Blue Jays hitters away as they basically ground him to death and then took full advantage of the pen. Today, things started out as poorly as possible, as Davis Schneider ambushed a first-pitch fastball and hit it out to left. Then after Vladimir Guerrero Jr. took one fastball for a strike, he hit the next fastball in the same location out to left as well to make it back-to-back jacks and give the Blue Jays a 2-0 lead right away."
The World Series stood tied 2-2 entering a decisive Game 5. The Blue Jays opened with back-to-back leadoff homers and added insurance runs aided by Dodgers' sloppy defense. Blake Snell struggled to consistently retire hitters and labored through innings, while the Blue Jays capitalized on mistakes and relief pitching. A misplayed potential double play and an inaccurate throw undermined Dodgers' defensive opportunities. The Blue Jays' offense and pitching combined to outplay Los Angeles in multiple facets, resulting in a 6-1 victory that leaves the Dodgers with their backs against the wall.
