"Yesavage struck out 12 batters, and didn't walk anyone - the only time that's happened in a World Series game, and the first time a rookie has recorded that many strikeouts in the Fall Classic. Meantime, the Blue Jays offense, like it has time and time again, strung together great at-bats and wore down a really tough pitcher, beating the Dodgers 6-1."
"As Yesavage carved up the Dodgers lineup it felt like everybody else contributed in a meaningful way. Everyone in the lineup got on base with either a hit or a walk, while Bo Bichette, Ernie Clement and Isiah Kiner-Falefa all drove in runs. Addison Barger was the only Blue Jay to have multiple hits and also made one of the best defensive plays of the night, robbing Shohei Ohtani of extra bases in the seventh inning."
Rookie Trey Yesavage dominated through seven innings, striking out 12 batters without issuing a walk, marking a unique World Series performance and a rookie milestone. The Blue Jays scored early as Davis Schneider homered on the first pitch he saw and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. followed with his eighth postseason home run. The offense produced six runs while reaching base across the lineup, with Bo Bichette, Ernie Clement and Isiah Kiner-Falefa driving in runs. Addison Barger had multiple hits and made a highlight defensive play robbing Shohei Ohtani of extra bases. The Blue Jays sit one win from a championship.
