Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 30 Oct, 2025 08:53 AM

Davis Schneider set the early tone on Wednesday night. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. did his part too.

The Toronto teammates made history by leading off a World Series game with back-to-back homers in Game 5 against the L.A. Dodgers. Rookie starter Trey Yesavage took care of the rest.

The right-hander was dominant as Toronto rolled to a 6-1 win to move one victory away from winning the Fall Classic for the first time since 1993.

Yesavage set a World Series rookie record with 12 strikeouts in just his eighth career big-league start.

Game 6 is set for Friday night at Rogers Centre.
