And so the Jays did, piling up one quality at-bat after another, grinding down Snell, pounding the Dodgers’ suspect bullpen. Their triumph included the first home run by a left-handed hitter off Snell since June 2, 2024, courtesy of Daulton Varsho, and the first pinch-hit grand slam in World Series history, courtesy of Addison Barger.
Blake Snell has been the best pitcher of October. The two-time Cy Young winner is looking for his first World Series ring. He could very well make two starts in the Fall Classic to help get the Dodgers over the finish line. Snell has an ERA of 0.86 this October in three playoff starts.

Toronto chases Dodgers starter Blake Snell in the sixth inning, and scores nine runs, including the first pinch-hit grand slam in World Series history, in the frame in an 11-4 win.
