Blue Jays Dominate Dodgers in World Series Game 1

The Toronto Blue Jays delivered a commanding 11-4 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 1 of the World Series, signaling their resurgence on the sport's biggest stage after 32 years. U.S. media outlets and analysts, including ESPN and Fox Sports' David Ortiz and Derek Jeter, praised the Blue Jays' aggressive offense and capitalizing on Dodgers' bullpen mistakes, highlighting a historic pinch-hit grand slam by Addison Barger as a key moment. Jeter warned that the Dodgers face significant pressure to win Game 2 to avoid falling behind in the series, emphasizing the momentum Toronto has gained with home crowd support. Despite the Dodgers being favored by most baseball executives to win the series, many acknowledge the Blue Jays' potent offense and potential to extend the series, with hopes pinned on stars like Vladimir Guerrero Jr. for a standout postseason. The enthusiasm and celebrations following the game reflect a renewed confidence in the Blue Jays' ability to contend for the championship, as American media also anticipate intense and possibly contentious moments in the coming games.
