Blue Jays erupt; Dodgers bullpen implodes | JQJO

With Rogers Centre roaring, the Blue Jays cracked open a tied World Series Game 1, unleashing a nine-run sixth to beat the Dodgers 11-4. Daulton Varsho’s fourth-inning, two-run homer erased an early L.A. lead, and after a spent Blake Snell loaded the bases, Toronto feasted on a thin bullpen. Emmet Sheehan faltered, Anthony Banda entered, and pinch-hitter Addison Barger launched the first pinch-hit grand slam in Series history, before Alejandro Kirk added a two-run shot. Shohei Ohtani later homered, but the damage was done. Toronto leads the best-of-seven 1-0, with Game 2 Saturday night at Rogers Centre.
