"It's fitting that the saying "it's always darkest before the dawn" may have been uttered at 2:50 A.M. Eastern time on Tuesday morning, after the Blue Jays had just lost a gruelling six-hour thirty-nine-minute affair in the World Series. Instead of holding on to take a 2-1 series lead, the Jays saw Game 3 slip away and witnessed the momentum swing in the Los Angeles Dodgers' favour."
"They have 55 comeback wins on the season; 49 during the regular season and six during the playoffs. In previous years, it wasn't unusual for the Blue Jays to surrender runs early and look dead the rest of the game. It wasn't unfamiliar for them to go down by three runs early on and to write the script for how it would play out."
Game 3 lasted six hours and thirty-nine minutes and ended in a late loss that swung momentum to the Los Angeles Dodgers. George Springer left in the top of the seventh with an oblique injury, creating a bleak outlook for Toronto. The Blue Jays then won Games 4 and 5 to take a 3-2 World Series lead and the opportunity to clinch at home in Toronto. The team recorded 55 comeback wins in 2025: 49 during the regular season and six in the playoffs. The 2025 club frequently accelerates after falling behind. Trey Yesavage delivered one of the single greatest postseason pitching performances in Game 5.
