After a roller coaster of two games in Los Angeles, the World Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays will play its final game south of the border before heading back to the Rogers Center.
Game 5 of the World Series will take place on Wednesday, October 29th at 8:00 pm EST. at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California.
Blue Jays manager John Schneider confirmed that rookie right-hander Trey Yesavage will take the mound in Game 5. The 22-year-old went four innings, allowing two runs on four hits and three walks. Yesavage made his MLB debut in September and made just three MLB starts before the postseason. This will be Yesavage's first postseason start outside of Rogers Center.
The Dodgers, on the other hand, We're going to start Blake Snell's first game.. In his last outing, just mentioned, Snell was certainly unlucky. In five innings, Snell allowed five runs on eight hits (including a two-run homer by Dalton Varsho) and three walks. Despite a rocky start, Snell dominated out of the World Series, recording 27 strikeouts and just two runs in 21 innings.
