Schneider was filling in for usual leadoff man George Springer, who is battling an injury.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p>BACK-TO-PLAK \ud83d\udca5<\/p>\n<p>VLADDY&#39;S TURN! <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/PLAKATA?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#PLAKATA<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/8WcyKZtTMX\">pic.twitter.com\/8WcyKZtTMX<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Toronto Blue Jays (@BlueJays) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BlueJays\/status\/1983689396244066613?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 30, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Two pitches later, Guerrero continued his stellar 2025 post-season with his eighth post-season homer, a 394-foot blast to left field off Snell.<\/p>\n<p>The Jays duo are the first players ever to hit back-to-back homers to open a World Series game. Schneider&#8217;s first-pitch home run was the first in the World Series since Derek Jeter performed the feat in 2000.<\/p>\n<p>Los Angeles got on the board in the bottom of the third, when Hernandez homered off Yesavage to pull the Dogers within 2-1.<\/p>\n<p>The Jays quickly got that run back in their half of the fourth, when Daulton Varsho tripled and was driven in by Ernie Clement&#8217;s sacrifice fly.<\/p>\n<p>Through five innings, Yesavage had 10 strikeouts, whiffing each of the Dodgers starting lineup at least once.<\/p>\n<p>The relentless Toronto attack continued in the top of the seventh, when they added two more runs and Snell exited after tossing 116 pages.<\/p>\n<p>Addison Barger scored on a wild pitch and Bo Bichette drove in Andres Gimenez to extend the Toronto lead to 5-1.<\/p>\n<p>Yesavage finished his night with 12 K&#8217;s, the most ever in a World Series game by a rookie (breaking a record set by Dodgers legend Don Newcombe in 1949).
