Yesavage improved to 2-0 with a 2.22 ERA after a 7-3 win by Dunedin over Fort Myers. He started and went five innings, giving up three runs, one earned, on two hits with seven strikeouts.
He gave up a two-run homer in the third inning to knot the game at 3-3 after an error by the Blue Jays a batter earlier. Despite that, he looked sharp again with the strikeouts, including two in the second and two in the fourth.
It marked the fourth straight game he’s had seven or more strikeouts, following two 10-strikeout games and a game where he fanned eight in his last outing.
