The Los Angeles Dodgers entered the World Series having lost just once this postseason and relying on a dominant starting rotation, but that was upended by the Toronto Blue Jays in their 11-4 win.
Blake Snell was not nearly as sharp nor dominant like during earlier starts in the postseason, and he could only reach the sixth inning before exiting without recording an out.
Snell had a particularly laborious first inning that saw him throw 29 pitches and the Blue Jays load the bases. He managed to escape the jam and keep the game scoreless by retiring Daulton Varsho.
