The Toronto Blue Jays won Game 5 of the 2025 World Series on October 29 by a score of 6-1 over the Los Angeles Dodgers. This gave them a 3-2 lead in the series and put them one step closer to winning the championship. The Dodgers couldn’t get their offense going. Therefore, they couldn’t keep up with the Blue Jays, who scored early and never looked back.
Davis Schneider and Vladimir Guerrero Jr., two of the best hitters in the game, hit back-to-back home runs in the first two at-bats. This gave Toronto a two-run lead right away and got the crowd at Dodger Stadium excited. Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s strong swing continued his postseason dominance. It gave the Blue Jays an early lead that set the tone for the rest of the game.
Jeff Hoffman led Toronto’s pitching staff, which mostly kept the Dodgers’ offense quiet, giving up only a solo home run to Kiké Hernández in the later innings. Trey Yesavage of the Blue Jays was great on the mound. He struck out 10 Dodgers in five innings and kept the Dodgers’ best hitters at bay with a mix of fastballs and sliders.
The win brings the Blue Jays one step closer to winning their first World Series title since 1993. It would be a big deal for the team. The Blue Jays will be the center of attention as the series moves back to Toronto for Game 6. They will try to use their momentum to win the championship at home.
After their offense fell short in a key game, Dodgers fans and players are both looking for answers. This is especially true after Toronto scored nine runs in the sixth inning of Game 1. The Blue Jays’ balanced offense, great pitching, and clutch hitting have made them a tough team to beat in this year’s playoffs.
What Comes Next?
The Blue Jays will play Game 6 in Toronto. They hope to win their first World Series title in more than 30 years. If the Dodgers want to stay alive and force a Game 7, they will need a strong offensive rebound.
