After allowing five earned runs in a Game 1 World Series loss, Los Angeles Dodgers ace Blake Snell got off to a disastrous start in Game 5 on Wednesday, allowing two home runs before recording an out.
The Toronto Blue Jays went on to a 6-1 win to take a 3-2 series lead and send this Fall Classic back to Toronto with the Jays one win away from a championship.
World Series history for Guerrero, Schneider
George Springer remained sidelined for Game 5 due to a side injury suffered in Game 3, so Davis Schneider took the leadoff spot for the Toronto Blue Jays. He needed exactly one pitch to get the Blue Jays on the board.
Schneider launched a first-pitch fastball from Snell into the left-field bleachers before Fox play-by-play announcer Joe Davis had a chance to settle into the game.

With that, Schneider had done his job filling in for Toronto's injured slugger at the top of the lineup.
Two pitches later, it was Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s turn. Guerrero watched a first-pitch fastball from Snell go over the plate for strike one. Then he took a swing at the second and deposited the ball not far from where Schneider's landed over the left-field wall.

With that, the Blue Jays became the first team in World Series history to hit back-to-back home runs to lead off a game. They went on to tag Snell for another three earned runs in their six-run effort.
But those two home runs turned out to be all Toronto needed, as rookie Trey Yesavage pitched a 12-strikeout gem to limit the loaded Dodgers lineup to one run.
The Blue Jays looked down and out after losing Tuesday's 18-inning marathon in Game 3. But after wins and Games 4 and 5, they're anything but.
