The Dodgers Just Demolished the Blue Jays 14-2 in a World Series Rematch and It Wasn't Even Close

The Los Angeles Dodgers showed up to Toronto ready to remind everyone why they won the World Series last year, hammering the Blue Jays 14-2 on Monday night behind five home runs and one of the most lopsided performances we've seen early in the season. This wasn't a game. It was a statement.

Dalton Rushing went absolutely nuclear for the Dodgers, crushing two homers among four hits to lead the offensive onslaught. Shohei Ohtani added his own shot plus two more hits, while Freddie Freeman and former Blue Jay Teoscar Hernandez each went deep with runners on base. When a team puts five balls in the seats in a single game, the outcome is usually decided by the third inning, and that's exactly how this one played out.

The Dodgers' Pitching Kept It Clean

Justin Wrobleski (1-0) made the offensive fireworks look even more dominant, allowing just one run across five innings. The Dodgers now sit at four straight wins, and the way they're hitting right now, nobody is going to want to see them again anytime soon. For Toronto, it's a different story: the Blue Jays have now lost five in a row and couldn't stop the bleeding even at home.

Around the League: Royals Edge Guardians, Rays Return Home

In Kansas City, Carter Jensen's sixth-inning solo shot gave the Royals a 2-1 lead, and Jonathan India's two-run blast in the eighth sealed a 4-2 win over Cleveland. Michael Wacha was stellar for Kansas City, pitching seven strong innings while allowing just one run. Meanwhile in Denver, the Rockies erupted for eight runs in the fifth inning to beat Houston 9-7, with Troy Johnston homering among three hits. San Diego kept rolling with a 5-0 shutout win in Pittsburgh, extending their winning streak to seven straight games in that ballpark.

In Florida, the Rays returned to Tropicana Field for their first game in 19 months after Hurricane Milton devastated the stadium 561 days ago, and they celebrated with a 6-4 victory over the Cubs. Cedric Mullins and Jonathan Aranda both went deep with runners on base for Tampa Bay.

The Brewers stayed hot at 8-2, edging Boston 8-6 on Garrett Mitchell's go-ahead single in the eighth, while Cincinnati beat Miami 2-0 behind six-plus scoreless innings from Brandon Williamson. Baltimore snapped a three-game skid with a 2-1 win in Chicago behind a spot start from Brandon Young, who scattered two hits across five shutout innings.
