Toronto native and avid sports fan Drake seems to be gearing up to party like it’s 1993.

The five-time Grammy Award winner is rooting for his hometown Blue Jays as the team approaches what would be the franchise’s first World Series championship in more than three decades.

Toronto took a 3-2 series lead Wednesday night behind 22-year-old rookie pitcher Trey Yesavage’s 12-strikeout performance in Game 5. Shortly after the win, the “Views” rapper trolled the Dodgers and two-way star Shohei Ohtani in a series of Instagram Stories posts.

“ONE MORE!!!!!!!” Drake captioned the post.

Drake, whose first name is Aubrey Graham, continued to mock the reigning National League MVP by posting a photo of Ohtani striking out during a World Series plate appearance.

“Savage already otw to dugout boss lol,” Graham wrote in a separate Instagram Stories post.

Drake participated in Game 1 of the World Series at the Rogers Center on October 24, the same day he celebrated his 39th birthday.

The World Series shifts back to Toronto for Game 6 on Friday. If the Dodgers survive, they would force a decisive Game 7 and keep Los Angeles’ back-to-back championship hopes alive.

Game 5 of the World Series was played Wednesday at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. Meanwhile, Drake sat courtside at Scotiabank Arena for an NBA game between the Toronto Raptors and the Houston Rockets.

Drake also serves as Raptors’ ambassador.

Game 6 of the World Series begins Friday at 20 ET on FOX.
