World Series 2025: Trey Yesavage's record 12-strikeout night puts Blue Jays up 3-2 vs. Dodgers

Trey Yesavage, a 22-year-old rookie pitcher, made history in Game five of the World Series, leading the Toronto Blue Jays to a commanding victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers. Yesavage set a World Series record with twelve strikeouts, completely dominating the Dodgers' lineup and putting the Blue Jays just one win away from their first championship since 1993. The Blue Jays' early offensive explosion, with back-to-back home runs in the first inning, gave Yesavage all the run support he needed. The series now shifts back to Toronto for Game six, where the Blue Jays will have two chances to clinch the title. The Dodgers' offensive struggles have been the story of the series, and their hopes of winning back-to-back World Series titles will depend on a complete offensive turnaround in a hostile Toronto environment.
