Barger telling Fox Sports after the game that the homer was kind of memorable. I mean, to be honestly, I don't even remember. It was so hard to just kind of gather my thoughts and everything. You know, it's just like a blackout moment, you know, it's just crazy. The Jay's hit three homers in the game, continuing a successful hitting trend that has led all playoff teams this year. Here's manager John Snyder. So much credit to the guys up and down the lineup, being ready to come into the game. You know, they were ready.

during BP, you know, talking to Nate, talking to Izzy, Addy. Those at bats in that inning, starting with Bow's walk, then a knock, you know, it kind of just kept on going, but those were some pretty terrific at bats. Game two goes tonight back at Rogers Center with Kevin Gosman getting the start for the Jays just after 8 p.m. Eastern time. It's not only baseball fans here at home excited about what's playing out on the field. Fans and foes alike are cheering on this World Series in Japan. But as the CBC's Malone Mullen reports, it's not hard to find Jay's fans anywhere.

Outnumbered but passionate, Jay's fans watch as Japan's national superstar takes the plate. In a packed pub in central Tokyo, Shoheotani strikes out. Meanwhile, run after run racks up for Toronto. Vancouverite Carmen Chow watches nervously surrounding. on all sides. They didn't fool me. They flew every other than the show me. Amid the North Americans up early to watch the World Series opener

are the diehard local Otani fans. Atsu Yatada is confident his homegrown superstar will carry the Dodgers eventually to a win. Yes, I'm proud of him as a Japanese, of course. L.A. resident Hector Rodriguez has a little doubt in Otani's talent, and despite his team's loss, says it's an ideal location to take in a ballgame. Outside of L.A. and Toronto is Japan. Malone, CBC News, Tokyo.

The series has also prompted a friendly wager between the leaders of the two home bases. Ontario Premier Doug Ford and California Governor Gavin Newsom took to X to make it official. Here's part of that exchange. If the Blue Jays win, I'll send you some of Ontario's finest maple syrup in a proper tin can, the way it's meant to be enjoyed. The tariff might cost me a few extra bucks that. the border these days, but it'll be worth it for a Jay's win. That's a sweet offer premiere, but something tells me that syrup is staying north of the border when the Dodgers win. And when

they do, I'll send you a bottle of California's championship-worthy wine. And hey, can you do me a favor? Think you can put it on the liquor store shelves? I don't think so, buddy. Talk to your friend in the Oval Office. In other news, Will you mean with Prime Minister Carney during this trip? I don't have any attention of it, no. U.S. President Trump, on his way out to a multi-stop visit in East Asia, and he's doubling down after terminating trade talks with Canada, saying he has no intention of meeting with Prime Minister Mark Carney.

Both leaders will be attending the ASEAN summit, which begins tomorrow in Kuala Lumpur. And we need tariffs for national security, and they totally turn it around because they're getting hurt by tariffs, and we're gaining by tariffs. They've used tariffs on us when we had different presidents very successfully, and they've taken a lot of money out of our country, and now we're taking it all back. Trump's anger is fueled by an anti-tariff TV ad paid for by the government of Ontario. Ontario Premier Doug Ford says he will have the ad pulled on Monday after airing during this weekend's World Series.
