"Things started off a little tense for the Dodgers who had dropped just one game so far during this postseason run before the World Series. The Blue Jays got started with a two-out rally in the first inning against southpaw Blake Snell, who was working with a 0.86 ERA across his three postseason starts thus far. A walk, single, and another walk loaded up the bases for Toronto, but Snell generated a fly out on his 29th pitch of the inning."
"At the top of the next frame, the Dodgers would start to chip away at the Blue Jays, starting with a Will Smith walk. Teoscar Hernández would get on board at the expense of Smith, and a Max Muncy single put two on with one out for Kiké Hernández. As the utility star has done seemingly his entire career, he delivered in a clutch October moment, collecting an RBI single to put his team up 1-0."
"The two powerhouses traded zeroes for another inning, but a well-hit single by Alejandro Kirk was followed by a two-run home run from Daulton Varsho in the bottom of the fourth to tie things up. Betts was left stranded in the top of the fifth, and things remained hitless until the bottom of the sixth. Toronto got to Snell, with a leadoff walk, a single to follow, and eventually knocked him out of the game after he hit a batter to load the bases."
The Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 11-4 in Game 1 of the World Series, powered by a historic sixth-inning rally. The Dodgers had entered the series having lost only one postseason game. Blake Snell began strong with a 0.86 postseason ERA and induced a fly out to escape a bases-loaded first inning. Los Angeles took an early lead on an RBI single from Kiké Hernández and a run from Will Smith, but Daulton Varsho’s two-run homer in the fourth tied the game. Toronto capitalized in the sixth to put the game away.
