Postgame
Well, the strategy coming in was get the starter out as soon as possible and bash the bullpen. Snell lasted into the sixth before the runs rolled in for Toronto as 12 men came to the plate and they hit both the starter and the relievers. The Jays looked every bit as formidable as they did v the Yankees and Mariners. The key? Limiting the big inning. The Dodgers had chances to put up cooked numbers early, but left with a pair of single runs – not nearly enough against a Jays team that can break out at any time.
So Toronto win Game 1, meaning they are in great shape: even if they lose tomorrow, one more Jays win guarantees a Game 6 right back at the Rogers Centre, where they’re very difficult to beat.
So that’s it for our live coverage of Game 1 of the World Series – thanks for following along with is, and wherever you are, good morning, good afternoon and goodnight!
