Blue Jays Rout Dodgers; Fans Boo Shohei Ohtani

News summary

At Rogers Centre in Game 1 of the 2025 World Series, the Toronto Blue Jays routed the Los Angeles Dodgers 11-4, capped by a nine-run sixth inning. Addison Barger's pinch-hit grand slam — the first pinch-hit grand slam in World Series history — was a key moment after starter Blake Snell was knocked out and the Dodgers' bullpen collapsed. Toronto fans loudly booed and chanted “We don’t need you” at Shohei Ohtani during introductions and again in the ninth; Ohtani finished 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in the seventh and a ninth-inning walk in which he was nearly picked off. The hostility followed Toronto's aggressive pursuit of Ohtani in December 2023 before he signed a 10-year, $700 million deal with Los Angeles. Blue Jays manager John Schneider and players acknowledged Ohtani's talent while embracing the team's depth and momentum as they take a 1-0 World Series lead.
