Blue Jays Blast Off with Consecutive Home Runs in World Series
30 Oct
Summary
- Blue Jays hit back-to-back home runs to start Game 5
- Davis Schneider and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. homered off Blake Snell
- First time in World Series history a game has begun with consecutive homers
On October 29, 2025, the Toronto Blue Jays got off to a blistering start in Game 5 of the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Just moments after the pregame music had stopped, Blue Jays leadoff hitter Davis Schneider stepped up to the plate and crushed a 373-foot home run off Dodgers starter Blake Snell.
The very next batter, superstar Vladimir Guerrero Jr., followed suit, hitting another 96-mph fastball from Snell for a 394-foot homer of his own. This marked the first time in World Series history that a game has begun with back-to-back home runs, giving the Blue Jays a quick 2-0 advantage.
The explosive start came as a surprise to the still-filling Dodger Stadium crowd, who had just started trickling in for the pivotal Game 5 matchup. The Blue Jays will look to build on this momentum as they aim to take a 3-2 series lead before heading back to Toronto for Game 6 on Friday.
