It only took three pitches of the World Series Game 5 for the Blue Jays to take a 2-0 lead with back-to-back home runs from Davis Schneider and Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

Leadoff hitter Schneider struck the first pitch off Dodger’s starter Blake Snell deep to left field for his first World Series home run. Guerrero Jr. followed closely behind with a home run off of Snell’s second pitch to him.

Back-to-back leadoff homers had only happened one other time to begin a playoff game: Ray Durham and Scott Hatteberg of the Oakland Athletics connected off Minnesota’s Rick Reed in Game 3 of the 2002 AL division series.

The Blue Jays are coming off a 6-2 win last night in L.A. after a heartbreaking lost in the 18-inning marathon Game 3 on Monday.

Rookie Trey Yesavage is starting for the Blue Jays.
