Game 1 of the World Series was one for the books!

The Toronto Blue Jays crushed the Los Angeles Dodgers 11-4 Friday night to take a 1-0 lead in the Fall Classic.

Toronto exploded with 9 runs in the 6th inning.

Addison Barger hit the first-ever pinch-hit grand slam in World Series history.

It was the Jays’ first appearance in the World Series since 1993.

Game 2 is on Saturday night.

Toronto’s veteran starter Kevin Gausman will take the mound against L.A.’s Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
