Addison Barger hit a grand slam for the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 1 of the World Series on Friday, and he did so without an ideal sleeping arrangement the night before.

Addison Barger crushes a grand slam and Alejandro Kirk adds a two-run homer as part of the Blue Jays' nine-run 6th inning in Game 1

And so the Jays did, piling up one quality at-bat after another, grinding down Snell, pounding the Dodgers’ suspect bullpen. Their triumph included the first home run by a left-handed hitter off Snell since June 2, 2024, courtesy of Daulton Varsho, and the first pinch-hit grand slam in Series history, courtesy of Addison Barger.

Rookie Trey Yesavage will start Friday night’s World Series opener for the Toronto Blue Jays against the defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers and Blake Snell.
