Blue Jays Take 3-2 World Series Lead

The Toronto Blue Jays beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-1 in Game 5 at Dodger Stadium to take a 3-2 World Series lead and move within one win of their first title since 1993. Davis Schneider and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit back-to-back leadoff homers — the first time teammates opened a World Series game with consecutive homers. Rookie Trey Yesavage dominated on the mound, striking out 12 over seven innings (a World Series rookie record), allowing one run and no walks. The series now shifts back to Toronto for Game 6 on Friday, with the Blue Jays needing one more win to clinch and the Dodgers searching for answers after starter Blake Snell’s early struggles.
