The Toronto Blue Jays<\/a> and Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a> are facing off in Game 5 as Dodger Stadium hosts World Series baseball for the final time in 2025. <\/strong>
With the Series tied 2-2, tonight determines who will head to Toronto one game away from becoming world champions.
The Blue Jays jumped all over Blake Snell<\/a> to start the game, as Davis Schneider<\/a> hit a home run on the first pitch and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. went back-to-back two pitches later. Kik\u00e9 Hern\u00e1ndez responded with a solo shot of his own in the third inning to get L.A. on the board.
▶️ The Blue Jays continue to excel at situational hitting as Ernie Clement<\/strong> rips a liner to center that is deep enough to score Varsho<\/strong> and extend the lead. | Top 4th Blue Jays 3, Dodgers 1<\/strong>

Those plays down the right-field line have given Teoscar Hern\u00e1ndez<\/strong> trouble all year long. He didn\u2019t get the best jump, didn\u2019t take the best route, and tried to slide to grab it.
It wound up a triple in the corner \u2013 right after the Dodgers just cut the lead in half.
▶️ Blake Snell<\/strong> is looking for a shutdown inning and Daulton Varsho<\/strong> immediately puts that in jeopardy. He loops a ball down the right-field line that Teoscar Hern\u00e1ndez <\/strong>makes a sliding attempt at but he whiffs and the ball goes past him into the corner. Varsho hustles to third with a stand-up triple. | Top 4th Blue Jays 2, Dodgers 1<\/strong>
Davis Schneider<\/strong>\u2019s dad captured the leadoff homer on camera.

Shelley Duncan:<\/strong> Damn!
Bobby Scales:<\/strong> Filth.
Earlier, we asked: with Vladimir Guerrero Jr.\u2019s father, Vladimir Sr., the American League MVP in 2004, only one other MVP also had a son who was on a World Series roster. Both father and son were Dodgers. A clue: their World Series years were 1941 and 1963.
Can you name that father-son duo?
He did not play in the World Series, but MLB\u2019s World Series media guide includes him on their roster.
And if anyone answered that question correctly, I salute you!

▶️ Yesavage<\/strong> does well to stop the solo homer from spiraling into more runs, striking out Ohtani<\/strong> with a splitter low and away for the final out of the frame. | End 3rd Blue Jays 2, Dodgers 1<\/strong>
Freakin\u2019 Kik\u00e9. That dude is Robert Horry. Doesn\u2019t even play in the regular season then figures out a way to dominate the postseason.
▶️ Alex Call<\/strong> gives a slider a ride to left-center but Daulton Varsho <\/strong>runs it down for the second out. | Bot 3rd Blue Jays 2, Dodgers 1<\/strong>
Mookie Betts<\/strong> career OPS, regular season v. postseason: .881 and .749
Kik\u00e9 Hern\u00e1ndez<\/strong> career OPS, regular season v. postseason: .707 and .835
The Dodgers needed to see the ball up against Trey Yesavage<\/strong> up. Kik\u00e9 Hern\u00e1ndez<\/strong> got a fastball up, and didn\u2019t miss it. Let\u2019s see if this jolts the offense.

▶️ Los Angeles was looking for a spark and Kik\u00e9 Hern\u00e1ndez <\/strong>just provided it! Yesavage tried to sneak a heater past him up in the zone and Hern\u00e1ndez blasted it into the seats in left. There was little doubt about that one. | Bot 3rd Blue Jays 2, Dodgers 1<\/strong>
▶️ Max Muncy<\/strong> works a full count before Trey Yesavage <\/strong>spins a slider that catches the bottom for the zone for another strikeout. Muncy is visibly furious at the call. One away. | Bot 3rd Blue Jays 2, Dodgers 0<\/strong>
▶️ Blake Snell<\/strong> has found hit footing after a noisy beginning, striking out Alejandro Kirk<\/strong> to end the top of the third. The Dodgers need to get the bats going and get the crowd energized. | Mid 3rd Blue Jays 2, Dodgers 0<\/strong>
Mookie Betts<\/strong>\u2019 wide throw on what should've been an inning-ending double play just cost Blake Snell<\/strong> seven pitches. Extra important with Snell and the Dodgers having little margin for error.<\/p>\n

Vladimir Guerrero Jr.<\/strong> is locked. It\u2019s the takes for me. When a dude takes pitches the way he is right now \u2026 forget about it.

▶️ Bo Bichette<\/strong> is early on a changeup, grounding it to short. Mookie Betts' <\/strong>throw is a bit wide, only allowing the Dodgers to get one out as Bichette reaches. | Top 3rd Blue Jays 2, Dodgers 0<\/strong>
▶️ Felt like Blake Snell <\/strong>pitched around Vladimir Guerrero Jr.<\/strong> there, walking him on five pitches. | Top 3rd Blue Jays 2, Dodgers 0<\/strong>
▶️ Davis Schneider<\/strong> works a full count before swinging through Snell's<\/strong> fastball for the first out. | Top 3rd Blue Jays 2, Dodgers 0<\/strong><\/p>\n
