Blue Jays Dominate Dodgers 11-4 in World Series Game 1 Rally

The Toronto Blue Jays stunned the baseball world with an 11-4 victory over the heavily favored Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 1 of the 2025 World Series, marking their first home World Series game in 32 years. The Blue Jays, who had no team meetings all season, showcased a historic nine-run sixth inning capped by Addison Barger's pinch-hit grand slam, the first of its kind in World Series history. Despite being underdogs against the Dodgers, a team with a dominant postseason record and the highest payroll in MLB, the Blue Jays demonstrated confidence and grit, asserting they belong among the best teams. Dodgers’ pitcher Blake Snell struggled in the decisive inning, while rookie Trey Yesavage helped lead Toronto. Blue Jays players embraced the challenge, rejecting the underdog label and viewing the matchup as a battle between equals rather than a David versus Goliath scenario. This commanding win sends a clear message that Toronto is a serious contender aiming for the Commissioner’s Trophy.
