Overview
- Toronto beat the Dodgers 6-1 in Game 5 at Dodger Stadium to move within one win of the championship.
- Davis Schneider and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. opened the game with consecutive home runs, the first such start in World Series history.
- Rookie Trey Yesavage struck out 12 over seven innings, setting a single-game World Series record for a first-year pitcher.
- Guerrero Jr. hit his eighth homer of the 2025 postseason, leaving him two shy of the single-postseason record of 10.
- Game 6 is Friday at Toronto’s Rogers Centre, with a potential Game 7 Saturday, and historically the Game 5 winner from a 2-2 tie wins the series about two-thirds of the time.
