Blue Jays Near First World Series Title Since 1993 With 3-2 Lead Over Dodgers

The Toronto Blue Jays are poised to potentially win their first World Series title since 1993, leading the series 3-2 against the reigning champion Los Angeles Dodgers. Game 6 at Toronto's Rogers Centre features Blue Jays' pitcher Kevin Gausman against Dodgers' Yoshinobu Yamamoto, with Toronto aiming to close out the series at home. Despite the Dodgers' setback with reliever Alex Vesia withdrawing for personal reasons, the team remains motivated and confident in their bullpen depth. Blue Jays players and management emphasize resilience and dismiss critics, highlighting strong offensive and pitching performances from stars like Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and rookie Trey Yesavage, who leads the series in strikeouts. Former pitcher Curt Schilling publicly admitted underestimating the Blue Jays, acknowledging their impressive play and challenging the Dodgers' ability to contain their offense.
