Toronto Blue Jays Take Command of World Series, Beats Dodgers 6-1 in Game Five
In a dominant performance, the Toronto Blue Jays have taken control of the World Series, defeating the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-1 in Game Five. The Blue Jays now lead the series 3-2 and will return to their home stadium, Rogers Centre, for Game Six on Friday.
The game was marked by an incredible start from rookie pitcher Trey Yesavage, who threw seven solid innings, striking out 12 batters - a World Series record for a rookie. Yesavage's impressive outing helped the Blue Jays build a 2-0 lead in the first inning with back-to-back home runs from Davis Schneider and Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
The Dodgers attempted to mount a comeback, but the Blue Jays' offense continued to chip away at their deficit. Ernie Clement's sacrifice fly scored Daulton Varsho in the fourth inning, increasing the Blue Jays' lead to 3-1. The Blue Jays added two more runs in the seventh inning, with Addison Barger scoring on a walk and Bo Bichette driving in Andres Gimenez.
The Dodgers' struggles were evident, with Shohei Ohtani going hitless for the second game in a row. Even Magic Johnson, who attended the game, was unable to get his favorite team back into the series.
For the Blue Jays, this victory marks their first World Series title since 1993. With Game Six just around the corner, Toronto fans are hopeful that their team can bring home their first championship in nearly three decades.

The Blue Jays are finally winning and it's been ages since they've even made it to the World Series lol my grandma still remembers watching them win back in 1993 
I'm so nervous for Game Six but I think we can do this!!! Trey Yesavage is literally a god on the pitcher mound 
his record-breaking 12 strikeouts had me screaming at the screen 
I need a drink after all that adrenaline 
! Reminds me of '93 when they won it all, but that was back when I was still a kid and listening to Kelly Gruber's 3rd-inning anthem on my Walkman 
. Trey Yesavage is like a young José Canseco - unstoppable 
! And can you believe the Blue Jays are gonna bring home their first title in nearly 30 years? My dad's gonna be so stoked 
... I'm not even kidding, I already heard him saying 'I knew they had it in them!' since Game One 
. This is what baseball dreams are made of!
. The way they built that 2-0 lead in the first inning was pure magic 
. And can we talk about Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s performance? He's been on fire this whole series 
. Plus, to see Magic Johnson out there cheering them on must be a dream come true for him 
. Fingers crossed they can close out that championship in Game Six! 
. Still, the Blue Jays are on fire and it'll be epic to watch them bring home that first title in ages 
the blue jays r on fire rn!!! trey yesavage tho! 
he threw 7 solid innings & struck out 12 batters - thats a world series record for a rookie lol what a debut!!! 
. Can't they just improve the video quality already? It's like they're trying to torture me with pixelation and low framerate 
. And don't even get me started on the commentary - it's always the same annoying duo repeating themselves ad nauseam 
. I swear, I've seen more exciting gameplay on a high school sports channel 
. Anyway, congrats to the Blue Jays for taking command of the World Series, but can we please just have a smooth streaming experience for once? 
. 12 strikeouts is insane for a rookie! And to see Davis Schneider and Vladimir Guerrero Jr go back-to-back home runs in the first inning? pure magic 
. The energy at Rogers Centre must be electric right now 
! 
The Jays are on fire right now and it's going to be a tough series for the Dodgers. Can't believe I'm actually rooting for the Blue Jays, I've been a Yankees fan my whole life but there's just something about their energy that's got me hooked 
. Anyone else excited for Game 6? 
now it's all up to game six for the blue jays i think this is gonna be epic
