The Blue Jays scored nine runs in the sixth inning as Dodgers' bullpen faltered, giving Toronto an 11-4 win and a 1-0 World Series lead.
- On Friday at Rogers Centre, the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 11-4 after a nine-run sixth, taking a 1-0 lead in the best-of-7 series with Game 2 on Saturday.

- Blake Snell struggled, allowing five runs, eight hits, and three walks in 5+ innings before exiting with bases loaded after 100 pitches and hitting Daulton Varsho.
- The victory puts pressure on the Dodgers, and Hall of Famer warned that going down 2-0 could be damaging, especially with Toronto Blue Jays fans celebrating after Friday's win.
- U.S. media reacted to the blowout, noting American analysts called Toronto Blue Jays' performance surprising and warned multiple wins would imperil Los Angeles Dodgers' chances.
