Game 1 of the 2025 World Series was close until it wasn’t, but the Dodgers have a chance to even things up tonight before a cross-country flight home.
Tied 2-2 heading into the bottom of the sixth inning, the first three Blue Jays batters reached base and a walk and single resulted in two runs scored. The bases were still loaded when the Jays sent Addison Barger in to pinch hit for left fielder Davis Schneider. With a 413 ft. shot into right field, Barger recorded the first pinch-hit grand slam in World Series history.
After that, a two-run shot from Alejandro Kirk made the score 11-2. Dodgers’ designated hitter Shohei Ohtani added to the score with a two-run homer in the seventh, but that was the extent of the scoring and the Blue Jays took Game 1, 11-4.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto will be on the mound at the start of Game 2 for the Dodgers. Yamamoto’s last outing was in Game 2 of the NLCS, where he tossed a complete game against Milwaukee, striking out seven, and allowing three hits and one run in the 5-1 Dodgers victory.
The Blue Jays will start Kevin Gausman tonight. Gausman started Game 1 in both the ALDS and the ALCS, so his Game 2 start tonight gives him an extra day of rest. This postseason, Gausman is 2-1 with an ERA of 2.0 and 12 strikeouts.
