Morning Briefing: Blue Jays Blow Out Dodgers in World Series Game 1
Good morning, Mets fans!
The 2025 World Series kicked off Friday night between the Dodgers and Blue Jays, with Toronto winning Game 1, 11-4. The Dodgers got out to an early 2-0 lead against Trey Yesavage, but Daulton Varsho got the Blue Jays on the board with a tying two-run homer in the fourth before Toronto exploded for nine runs in the fifth. It was the highest-scoring inning in a World Series game since 1968.
Among the nine runs was a pinch-hit grand slam off the bat of Addison Barger, the first pinch-hit grand slam in World Series history.
