Watch Game 5 as Blue Jays and Dodgers Clash for World Series Lead

Game 5 of the World Series between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Los Angeles Dodgers takes place tonight at Dodger Stadium, with the series tied 2-2. The pivotal matchup is set for 8 p.m. ET on FOX, as both teams look to take a crucial lead before the series shifts back to Toronto. The Blue Jays leveled the series with a 6-2 win in Game 4, outscoring the Dodgers 23-17 overall and showcasing greater consistency at the plate. Toronto’s rookie starter Trey Yesavage will make his eighth career major league appearance, facing Dodgers left-hander Blake Snell in a rematch of Game 1. Yesavage, just 22, has quickly become a trusted arm for Toronto, posting strong postseason performances despite limited big league experience. He allowed only two runs over four innings in his World Series debut and has been praised by teammates for his poise under pressure. For the Dodgers, manager Dave Roberts hinted at possible lineup changes after Los Angeles’ offense stalled in Game 4. The Dodgers, who led the National League in runs and home runs during the regular season, have struggled at the plate this series—batting just .214 with a .377 slugging percentage. Key players like Mookie Betts, Andy Pages, Tommy Edman, and Kiké Hernández have combined for a .147 average against the Blue Jays, putting additional pressure on superstar Shohei Ohtani. After an explosive Game 3, Ohtani was held hitless in Game 4, and the Dodgers’ offense managed only three runs in their last 20 innings. Toronto’s bullpen has been a difference-maker, allowing just two runs across the last 14 2/3 innings. With their top relievers well-rested, the Blue Jays are positioned to back up Yesavage with a full complement of arms. Meanwhile, the Dodgers will rely on Snell, who seeks to bounce back after Toronto tagged him for his only postseason loss in Game 1, despite a dominant 2.42 ERA in the playoffs. Toronto’s Vladimir Guerrero Jr. remains a postseason force, hitting his seventh home run in Game 4 to set a franchise record. As both teams enter Game 5 at near full strength, the outcome may hinge on timely hitting and late-inning execution. With the World Series hanging in the balance, all eyes turn to Dodger Stadium for a critical showdown. The winner moves within one victory of a championship, while the loser faces a daunting trip to Canada needing two straight wins to claim the title.
