Game 1 of the 2025 World Series did not go in any way the Los Angeles Dodgers hoped for as they lost 11-4 to the Toronto Blue Jays.
The Dodgers played poor baseball all around, which included squandering multiple opportunities to break the game open early on offense, and then a complete pitching meltdown where they allowed nine runs in the sixth inning.
While the Dodgers have dealt with challenging environments already, there was something different about the feel in Toronto as all 44,353 fans in attendance were locked in and making the Rogers Centre loud.
“The crowd was electric tonight,” Blue Jays manager John Schneider said.
