World Series Game 5: Dodgers lose to Blue Jays 6-1, now trail series 3-2
Fans walk through the streets of downtown Los Angeles to get to the Dodger victory parade last year. If we're going to get another parade, it will be decided later this week in Toronto.

Topline:
The Los Angeles Dodgers lost to the Toronto Blue Jays 6-1 Wednesday for Game 5 of the World Series at Dodger Stadium. The Blue Jays now lead the series 3-2 as they head back to Toronto for home field advantage.
Game 5 recap: Well, for starters, Blake Snell gave up back-to-back home runs to lead off the game and it never recovered from there as the Jays kept extending their lead.
Game 4 recap: The Blue Jays won, 6-2, against the Dodgers Tuesday night. Toronto first-baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit a two-run homer
off L.A. starting pitcher Shohei Ohtani in the third inning, giving the Blue Jays a lead that they never relinquished.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.

Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
