What a night: Trey Yesavage’s Game 5 pitching gets Blue Jays one step closer to World Series title

by | Oct 30, 2025

Trey Yesavage’s epic night has the Toronto Blue Jays one win away from winning the World Series.

He went seven innings, giving up a run on three hits with 12 strikeouts and no walks in a 6-1 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday. It moved the Blue Jays within one win of their first title since 1993.

Davis Schneider and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. connected on Blake Snell’s first and third pitches, the first consecutive home runs to start a Series game. Yesavage, a 22-year-old right-hander who began his season last April pitching before 327 fans in Class A Dunedin, took over from there.

With a sinking splitter, spinning slider and overpowering fastball that quieted LA bats and a crowd of 52,175, he broke the prior Series rookie record of 11 strikeouts set by Don Newcombe for the Dodgers in a 1-0 loss to the New York Yankees in the 1949 opener. Getting six Ks each with his splitter and slider, Yesavage became the first World Series pitcher with 12 strikeouts and no walks.
