"Game 5 may have been played in L.A., but Toronto fans on the Dodger Stadium concourse were arguably responsible for the loudest chants after the final out was recorded Wednesday night. LET'S GO BLUE JAYS! ONE MORE WIN! The Blue Jays, led by a nearly unhittable 22-year-old rookie, glided to a 6-1 victory over the Dodgers, giving the team a chance to win the World Series at home Friday."
"As fans spilled into the stadium parking lot, some Jays supporters broke out into a revelrous rendition of O Canada, full of high fives and spontaneous cheers. Back at a watch party in Toronto, where 28,000 fans kept the Rogers Centre seats warm for Game 6, it was pandemonium from the start.

"Pitcher Trey Yesavage, who now has more big league starts in the playoffs than he does in the regular season, made the $320-million Dodger payroll look like chump change for the next seven innings. In his eighth and final big league start this season, Yesavage gave up only one run on three hits and struck out 12 batters more than any other rookie in World Series history."
The Blue Jays defeated the Dodgers 6-1 in Game 5, taking a 3-2 lead in the World Series and giving themselves a chance to clinch at home Friday. Fans in Dodger Stadium and its parking lot chanted and sang O Canada, while 28,000 fans filled the Rogers Centre for a watch party. Davis Schneider and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit back-to-back leadoff home runs, and Drake's 'Back to Back' played as celebrations continued. Rookie pitcher Trey Yesavage allowed one run on three hits, struck out 12, and dominated seven innings in his eighth and final big-league start this season.
