Blue Jays Rookie Trey Yesavage Holds Down Dodgers for 4 Innings in Historic World Series Start
Yesavage, 22, earned the start after strong postseason performances including 16 strikeouts in September and more playoff outings than regular-season games, Blue Jays said.
- Blue Jays manager John Schneider announced that Trey Yesavage will start Friday night's World Series opener in Toronto against the Los Angeles Dodgers and Blake Snell.
- Selected 20th overall last year from East Carolina University, Yesavage rose from Class A Dunedin to Triple-A Buffalo with promotions on May 20, June 12 and Aug. 12 before debuting on Sept. 15.
- He was 1-0 with a 3.21 ERA in three September starts, striking out 16 in 14 innings, featuring a 'devastating splitter' and seven walks.
- Manager John Schneider said Thursday he isn't ready to announce the Game 2 starter as Kevin Gausman's recent 19-pitch relief outing after a 91-pitch start complicates rotation decisions.
- Yesavage's ALCS work was mixed, losing Game 2 after allowing five runs in four innings, then winning Game 6 with two runs over 5 2/3 innings, and he will make his fourth postseason start.
