The Toronto Blue Jays return home just one win away from a World Series title. Toronto defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-1 in Game 5 Wednesday night to take a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven series. The victory was the Jays’ second in a row on the road in L.A. after losing Game 3, which went 18 innings on Monday. The Jays will host Game 6 on Friday and Game 7 -- if necessary -- on Saturday. Toronto split its first two home games of the series against the Dodgers. The Jays haven’t won a World Series since 1993, when the team won its second of back-to-back championships.
