World Series Game 1 was a close one. Then the bottom of the sixth inning happened. The Blue Jays broke the game open against the Dodgers with a nine-run frame, as pinch-hitter Addison Barger smacked a grand slam and catcher Alejandro Kirk hit a two-run shot soon after.

Rookie Trey Yesavage’s improbable season continues Friday when he gets the start for the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 1 of the World Series.

Batting for Davis Schneider against left-hander Anthony Banda, Barger drilled a 2-1 slider 413 feet to right-center — his third home run this postseason.
