TORONTO — For all the talk of the Dodgers ruining baseball, there is still one aspect of the team capable of ruining their plans for world domination.
Blake Snell’s postseason dominance didn’t extend to Game 1 of the World Series on Friday night. He left the game with the bases loaded and no outs in the sixth inning. By the time the inning was over, there was wreckage all over the Rogers Centre turf.
The Toronto Blue Jays scored nine times in the sixth inning – including the first pinch-hit grand slam in World Series history – and blew the Dodgers away, 11-4.
With Alex Vesia away from the team, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts’ near-barren bullpen “trust tree” was shorn of an important limb. He turned to Emmet Sheehan and Anthony Banda in the sixth inning and came away with powder burns.
