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.
Davis Schneider<\/a> and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit back-to-back home runs off of Blake Snell<\/a> to open the game. Kik\u00e9 Hern\u00e1ndez responded with a solo shot of his own in the third inning to get L.A. on the board, but Toronto restored its two-run lead with a sacrifice fly in the fourth.
Blue Jays starter Trey Yesavage<\/a> has tied the MLB<\/a> record for most strikeouts by a rookie in a World Series game with 11.
Dave Roberts seems like he is going in a completely different direction when managing his pitching than previous World Series.
They spent a lot of money on starting pitching, might as well get the most out of it.

Doc got beat up for yanking his starters a few years back. He\u2019s been much more \u201cfeel\u201d in these situations since. Especially in the postseason.
To Stephen<\/em>\u2019s point, it says everything about their bullpen. <\/p>\n

▶️ Blake Snell <\/strong>is up to 110 pitches as Andr\u00e9s Gim\u00e9nez<\/strong> works a walk, giving Toronto runners on first and second with one out. He is staying in the game to face Davis Schneider<\/strong>. | Top 7th Blue Jays 3, Dodgers 1<\/strong>
The Dodgers\u2019 feel for when to pull their starters this series has been \u2026 odd.
Another run WOULD be a dagger. Doc (Dave Roberts) wants them more shallow just for that reason.

The way this game is going, it feels like one extra run here will be a dagger for the Dodgers.
▶️ Addison Barger<\/strong> advances to second on a curveball that Blake Snell<\/strong> spiked. He stays at second though as Isiah Kiner-Falefa<\/strong> grounds out to short. | Top 7th Blue Jays 3, Dodgers 1<\/strong>
Blake Snell<\/strong> pitches into the seventh. It\u2019s admirable and needed that he\u2019s gotten this far after that poor start. His offense has done him no favors, however.
Edgardo Henriquez<\/strong> is warming as Snell starts the inning.
▶️ Addison Barger <\/strong>beats the shift, punching a leadoff single down the third-base line. | Top 7th Blue Jays 3, Dodgers 1<\/strong>
It\u2019s not a bad night when the three historical comparisons the broadcast has made for Trey Yesavage<\/strong> in the last inning are Don Newcombe (last rookie with 10+ strikeouts in the World Series), Sandy Koufax (last pitcher with 10+ strikeouts in the first five innings of a World Series game), and Smoky Joe Wood (most strikeouts in a World Series game for a pitcher 22 or younger).

Mookie Betts<\/strong> is now 3-for-22 in this World Series. His mechanics are clearly off. The contact is much like what we saw in the first half of the season when he got off to a brutal start.
It would\u2019ve been a shock to see Dave Roberts move him even further down the order today, but they really need him to get going.
To Shelley<\/em>\u2019s point, the Jays hoped the fact that Yesavage<\/strong> didn\u2019t have his splitter working in Game 1 would help him tonight. Manager John Schneider said:
💬 \u201cIt\u2019s interesting. They\u2019re seeing him again, but if the split is on it\u2019s a different version of what they saw.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>
The split was on. It was a different version. It\u2019s working.
That 1-2-3 inning has a big impact on the rest of the game. Blue Jays bullpen will be lined up, and it puts Jeff Hoffman<\/strong> in the spot to face the Dodgers\u2019 best hitters.
Slider top of the zone. Slider bottom of the zone. From that arm angle, it\u2019s impossible to hit.<\/p>\n

▶️ That's a 1-2-3 inning for Trey Yesavage<\/strong>, getting Mookie Betts<\/strong> to bounce out to third to end the inning. He's up to 89 pitches, allowing two hits and one run while striking out eleven. | End 6th Blue Jays 3, Dodgers 1<\/strong>

Q: How hot are you getting the bullpen with Trey Yesavage <\/strong>still rolling?<\/em>
Bobby Scales:<\/strong> Batter by batter at this point. Right now he\u2019s still better than any option you have especially give you played 18 innings the other night. Everyone is taxed.
Shelley Duncan:<\/strong> He\u2019s rolling, but things at this stage in the game can always happen fast.
▶️ That was not a good at-bat by Will Smith<\/strong>, striking out on three pitches after chasing a slider well below the zone. | Bot 6th Blue Jays 3, Dodgers 1<\/strong>
Trey Yesavage<\/strong> just became the third starting pitcher, after Kevin Gausman<\/strong> in Game 2 and Shane Bieber<\/strong> last night, who John Schneider has allowed to face Shohei Ohtani<\/strong> for a third time.
Schneider has not been punished for it once. Excellent execution by Toronto against Ohtani, and some tremendous defense doesn\u2019t hurt.<\/p>\n
