World Series Game 1 was a close one.

Then the bottom of the sixth inning happened.

The Blue Jays broke the game open against the Dodgers with a nine-run frame, as pinch-hitter Addison Barger smacked a grand slam and catcher Alejandro Kirk hit a two-run shot soon after.

The game was tied 2-2 when the half inning started before Los Angeles starter Blake Snell allowed the first three runners to reach.

Reliever Emmett Sheehan did little to stop the bleeding when Ernie Clement singled in the go-ahead run before Nathan Lukes drew a bases-loaded walk and Andres Gimenez collected a run-scoring single to make it 5-2— all before an out was recorded.
