LOS ANGELES — Blake Snell gave up more homers in his first three pitches than he had allowed in the rest of the postseason.
It didn’t seem to bother him, though.
“They didn’t really get to me,” the Dodgers left-hander said after a 6-1 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 5 of the World Series on Wednesday night. “It was the first pitch of the game. It was 97 mph and he hit it 98 mph. Pretty unlucky.”
After Davis Schneider’s first-pitch homer, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit a homer on the third pitch, the first time in World Series history that a team led off the game with back-to-back homers.
“Vlad, that’s just a bad pitch,” Snell said. “After that, it was pretty smooth sailing. Figured out the lineup, what they like to do.”
Snell gave up five runs in 6⅔ innings, after allowing five in
