Toronto One Step Away of Victory After Rookie Phenom Dominates Dodgers in Game 5
Trey Yesavage delivered a performance for the ages and Schneider connected for a homer on the opening pitch as the Blue Jays defeated the Dodgers six to one on Wednesday evening, moving within one victory of their first championship since the 1993 season.
Yesavage's Historic Outing
The 22-year-old Yesavage, who debuted in the majors this past September, fanned a dozen batters without a single walk – setting a new World Series record. The first-year pitcher surrendered just one run on three hits over seven frames. He started the season in Class A before sparse crowds, but has now been the winning pitcher in two of Toronto's three wins in this seven-game set.
A Quick Start for Toronto
Toronto’s hitters jumped out to a fast lead. On the game's opening offering, Schneider drilled a 97-mile-per-hour heater and homered to left field. Immediately after, Vladimir Guerrero Jr homered as well to nearly the same spot. It marked the unprecedented occurrence in the World Series that the game began with two straight homers, stunning the crowd before most had taken their places.
The Pitcher's Dominance
Yesavage then went to work. He struck out five consecutive batters between the second and third innings, setting a rookie record before the streak was snapped by Kiké Hernández with a solo homer in the third inning to make it 2–1. That was the nearest the Dodgers came.
Building the Advantage
In the fourth, Varsho lined a triple into the right-field corner after a fielding error, and Ernie Clement hit a sac fly to score him for a 3–1 lead. The Dodgers' bats remained quiet from there. After scoring six runs in Monday’s 18-inning marathon, they’ve scored a mere four times in nearly 30 innings.
Late Inning Insurance
The Dodgers starter persisted for over six frames but exited in the seventh after the Blue Jays loaded the bases. Both runners he left behind came around to score – via a wild pitch and another on an RBI single – to push the lead to four runs. A eighth-inning base hit provided the final margin.
Relievers Seal the Deal
Yesavage exited to a standing ovation from the traveling fans, and the relievers finished the job. The relief corps each tossed a shutout frame to end the game, recording three strikeouts together while protecting the rookie's gem.
Dodgers' Lineup Shuffle Falters
The Dodgers, who shuffled their lineup in hopes of igniting the offense, again couldn't find momentum. Their key batter went without a hit in four trips and is now hitless in seven at-bats since setting a World Series on-base record in Game 3.
On the Verge of a Championship
Now holding a 3-2 lead, Toronto go back to their own stadium with two chances to clinch. Game 6 is Friday night at their home field.
