Playing in their first World Series since 1993, the Blue Jays effectively won game 1 with a nine-run sixth inning — which included a never-before-seen World Series feat. Shohei Ohtani hit the first homer of his World Series career but it proved to be meaningless.

Barger's electric grand slam in the sixth inning as a pinch hitter helped slam the door on a Los Angeles Dodgers response. It will go down in Blue Jays history, regardless of how this World Series ends up.

It's over. The Blue Jays take Game 1 in lopsided fashion, spurred by the first pinch-hit grand slam in the history of the World Series courtesy of Addison Barger. Blake Snell struggled massively after an all-time postseason run, and now the Dodgers will turn to Yoshinobu Yamamoto to tie the series.
