Shohei Ohtani and the Dodgers are one defeat away from losing the World Series, and Blue Jays fan Drake was happy to remind them of that fact on Wednesday.
Toronto earned a massive 6-1 win on the road in Game 5 to seize a 3-2 series lead, with a potentially decisive Game 6 now set to be staged in Canada on Friday.
And after the crushing defeat for the Dodgers, the Canadian rapper took to social media to rub salt in the wounds of Ohtani and Co.
Drake posted a photo of Ohtani whiffing on a pitch from Trey Yesavage, and added a brutal caption.
'Savage already [on the way] to the dugout boss lol.'
Ohtani went 0-4 at the plate in the game, while 22-year-old Yesavage pitched a gem for the Blue Jays.

Ohtani had a difficult Game 5 for the Dodgers as he went 0-4 at the plate in the loss
The rookie lasted seven innings on the mound and threw 12 strikeouts, only allowing one earned run.
Drake, whose real name is Aubrey Graham, attended Game 1 of the series in Toronto, which the Blue Jays won 11-4.
And while he was happy to remind Ohtani of his struggles in Game 5, the player has nonetheless been great for the Dodgers in the World Series.
The dual-threat Japanese star has batted .316 with three home runs and five RBI at the plate in the series.
He also pitched in Game 4, though he didn't have his best outing as he allowed four earned runs in six innings pitched.
On the whole, Ohtani is having an impressive postseason as he's hit eight home runs and notched a 1.109 OPS.
The Dodgers will try to stave off World Series elimination at 8pm ET on Friday night.
