LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Toronto Blue Jays hit the first back-to-back homers to begin a game in World Series history Wednesday night when Davis Schneider and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. connected on the first and third pitches by the Los Angeles Dodgers' Blake Snell.

Leadoff hitter Schneider delivered his first career playoff homer on Snell's very first pitch in Game 5, hammering a high fastball to left.

Guerrero then blasted an 0-1 fastball to left for his Blue Jays-record eighth homer of the postseason, hitting it 394 feet. The star slugger also homered in Game 4 of the World Series, connecting off Shohei Ohtani.

Each of Snell's first three pitches were fastballs. He didn't throw another the rest of the first inning. Snell had only allowed one homer in his previous 50 innings of work
