The Toronto Blue Jays won Game 1 of the 2025 World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers behind a historically good sixth inning.

The Toronto Blue Jays are in the World Series for the first time since 1993 and looking for their third title in franchise history as they try to end a three-plus-decade drought.

Batting for Davis Schneider against left-hander Anthony Banda, Barger drilled a 2-1 slider 413 feet to right-center — his third home run this postseason.

Left-handed reliever Alex Vesia was not on the roster, as he and his wife handle what the club said on Thursday was “a deeply personal family matter.”

By beating Toronto in the World Series that starts Friday night, Los Angeles would capture its third title in six years.
