Game 5 may have been played in L.A., but Toronto fans on the Dodger Stadium concourse were arguably responsible for the loudest chants after the final out was recorded Wednesday night.
“LET’S GO BLUE JAYS! ONE MORE WIN!”
The Blue Jays, led by a nearly unhittable 22-year-old rookie, glided to a 6-1 victory over the Dodgers, giving the team a chance to win the World Series at home Friday. It’s been 32 years since the Jays have been this close, and Toronto fans could barely contain their excitement.
“We’re feeling good! ‘93, I was in the building. We’re going to do it again on Friday!” one fan told CBC News at Dodger Stadium, screaming above the cheers of a mob of Toronto fans to be heard.
As fans spilled into the stadium parking lot, some Jays supporters broke out into a revelrous rendition of O Canada, full of high fives and spontaneous cheers.
Back at a watch party in Toronto, where 28,000 fans kept the Rogers Centre seats warm for Game 6, it was pandemonium from the start.
After Davis Schneider and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. both hit home runs to lead off the game, Drake’s Back to Back blasted out of the Rogers Centre speakers — and the party never stopped.
Pitcher Trey Yesavage, who now has more big league starts in the playoffs than he does in the regular season, made the $320-million Dodger payroll look like chump change for the next seven innings. In his eighth and final big league start this season, Yesavage gave up only one run on three hits and struck out 12 batters — more than any other rookie in World Series history.

Jays were smart to promote a kid with a gimmick - unusually high release point - recognizing that it would be very hard for teams to put a book together on him in short series. The ball is coming in from an odd angle and moves differently than normal. It will be harder for him to excel next year.
The best players on the Dodgers are Japanese.
