Dodgers in a World Series tailspin after Game 5 loss to Blue Jays

Toronto silenced Dodger Stadium in Game 5, beating Los Angeles 6-1 behind rookie Trey Yesavage’s seven electric innings and 12 strikeouts, a World Series rookie record. The Blue Jays jumped on Blake Snell with back-to-back leadoff homers, then watched Yesavage turn the Dodgers’ patience against them. Los Angeles managed three hits and just one at-bat with a runner in scoring position, despite lineup shuffles that dropped Mookie Betts and benched Andy Pages. A fleeting seventh-inning chance evaporated on a double play, and late bullpen leaks widened the gap, leaving Toronto up 3-2 and the Dodgers confronting elimination.
