**Yesavage Leads Blue Jays to Potential ALCS Berth Against Yankees** Trey Yesavage made a remarkable playoff debut on Sunday, showcasing his talent as a rookie pitcher for the Toronto Blue Jays. The 22-year-old right-hander, in just his fourth major league start, dominated the New York Yankees, no-hitting them for 5 1/3 innings in front of a sellout crowd of 44,764 at Rogers Centre. Yesavage's performance was historic. He struck out 10 batters in his first four innings, setting a franchise record for the most strikeouts in a single postseason game. His ability to command the mound left many Yankees hitters bewildered. “I’m built for this,” Yesavage said before the game, expressing confidence in his ability to perform on such a big stage. He proved his words true, striking out notable hitters like Aaron Judge, Cody Bellinger, and Giancarlo Stanton. The Blue Jays provided ample support, scoring early and often. They defeated the Yankees 13-7, marking their second consecutive win in the best-of-three American League Division Series. The Jays have outscored the Yankees 23-8 in the two games, putting them one victory away from advancing to the American League Championship Series. Yesavage's journey to this moment has been swift. He was promoted to the big leagues in September and quickly made his mark. His first pitch of the game was a strike, making him the youngest Blue Jay to start a postseason game, surpassing Juan Guzman, who did so in 1991. The crowd erupted in applause as Yesavage warmed up before the game, a sign of the excitement surrounding his debut. He allowed only one walk to Judge, his only blemish through four innings. The Blue Jays' offense was highlighted by a two-run homer from Ernie Clement and a grand slam from Vladimir Guerrero Jr., marking the first postseason grand slam in franchise history. Daulton Varsho also contributed with a two-run homer, his first in the playoffs. Fellow pitcher Shane Bieber praised Yesavage's composure, saying, “Obviously I haven’t known him for too long, but he doesn’t seem overwhelmed in the slightest. I’m excited to watch him pitch today.” With their commanding lead in the series, the Blue Jays are poised to make history as they aim for a spot in the ALCS, which would begin in Toronto next week. Yesavage's performance has not only set records but has also energized the team and its fans as they look to continue their playoff run.
