Blue Jays 6, Dodgers 1 — Rookie Yesavage stuns L.A. as Toronto takes 3–2 Series lead
The Blue Jays are one win away from glory thanks to rookie phenom Trey Yesavage, who authored a historic World Series performance. The 22-year-old right-hander struck out 12 without a walk over seven innings, silencing the Dodgers’ bats and propelling Toronto to a commanding 3–2 lead in the Fall Classic.
🔑 Key Moments
The Jays wasted no time, as Davis Schneider and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. went back-to-back to open the game — the first time in World Series history a team began with consecutive home runs.
Kiké Hernández briefly cut the deficit with a solo homer in the third, but Yesavage quickly reasserted control, becoming the first rookie ever with 10+ strikeouts and 0 walks in a World Series game.
In the fourth, Daulton Varsho tripled and scored on an Ernie Clement sacrifice fly to make it 3–1.
The Jays blew it open in the seventh, capitalizing on wildness from Blake Snell and the Dodgers’ bullpen. Addison Barger scored on a wild pitch, and Bo Bichette followed with an RBI single to right to extend the lead to 5–1.
Isiah Kiner-Falefa added an insurance RBI, while relievers Seranthony Domínguez and Jeff Hoffman combined for two scoreless innings to close it out.
