Well, the Dodgers aren’t invincible after all. The starting pitcher that flattened the Brewers ran into a Blue Jays team that isn’t going to go down so easy. 

L.A. allowed just four runs in four games against Milwaukee, as if they were playing the hapless Rangers. But Toronto has actual hitters, from one through nine, and they erased a two-run deficit by tying it in the fourth inning, then blasting away for nine runs in the sixth.

Los Angeles scored two unimportant runs in the seventh on another moon shot off Ohtani’s bat. Now, they go into Game 2 tonight needed a win. It won’t be easy.

Look at the video game numbers some of these Blue Jays hitters are putting up. 

Addison Barger, who didn’t even start, hit a pinch-hit grand slam to punctuate that nine-run seventh, has a 1.027 OPS. 

Vlad Guerrero Jr. went 2-for-4 to raise his postseason average to .447, and his OPS to 1.412.

Ernie Clement just keeps on making contact. With his two hits last night, he’s batting .455 with a 1.058 OPS.

Two other Blue Jays have an OPS over .900: George Spring at .916 and Alejandro Kirk at .903.

And, as if they needed more offense, they added a guy who hit .311 during the season in Bo Bichette, who returned for Game 1 after missing most of September and all of the playoffs with a bad knee. He went 1-for-2.

In the end, Toronto showed the value of making contact. Fourteen hits and only four strikeouts. 

It will be pretty hard to beat them if they are able to keep that up.
