- On Wednesday, Trey Yesavage struck out 12 batters, setting a rookie World Series record as the Toronto Blue Jays opened Game 5 with consecutive homers in a 6-1 win.
- Taken 20th overall in last year's draft, Trey Yesavage rose from Low-A to Triple-A to the majors in just 46 days, arriving under heavy jeering at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles.
- Yesavage worked seven innings, allowed three hits and no walks while generating 23 swings and misses after finding his splitter grip Tuesday.
- Toronto leads 3-2 and can dethrone the defending champions back home Friday at Rogers Centre, while the Dodgers could turn to Shohei Ohtani and Game 6 features Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Kevin Gausman starting.
