Trey Yesavage put the Toronto Blue Jays within one win of the World Series and admitted that « Hollywood couldn’t have made it that good. »
The rookie struck out 12 and gave up just three hits over seven innings as the Blue Jays beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-1 in Game 5 to take a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven series.
Game 6 is played at Rogers Center tomorrow, with the home team knowing a win would give them their first world title since 1993.
Yesavage was the star, continuing his remarkable rise to prominence. « It’s a crazy world, » the 23-year-old said. « Crazy world. Hollywood couldn’t make it that good. So just being a part of it, I’m just very blessed. »
His 12 hits were the most by a rookie in a World Series game, surpassing the previous mark of 11 set by Don Newcomb in 1949.
« Getting in the zone early, being in my count, just throwing whatever I want when I was in two strikes, » he said when asked how he accomplished it.
« Being able to execute my plan all seven innings was huge for that. »
Blue Jays boss Schneider ‘blown away’ by Yesavage
Blue Jays manager John Schneider was full of praise for his young star.
« Historical stuff, » Schneider said. « When you talk about that stage and his numbers, getting ahead of a lot of hitters, tons of swing and miss. It’s one thing to be in the zone, it’s another thing to be in the zone and get a swing and miss.
« Blowed away by what you did. »
It was another disappointing night for the home fans in LA as their star-studded line-up once again fell short.
The defending champions have scored just three runs in their last two games – continuing an underwhelming playoff run – and manager Dave Roberts knows another lackluster performance on Friday will mean it’s game over.
« I don’t feel great, » Roberts said. « You can clearly see how those guys (Blue Jays) are finding ways to get hits, to move the baseball forward. We’re not doing well. »
Still fighting in the Dodgers – Roberts
He remains optimistic that his team can still get the job done, even though the final two games are scheduled for Toronto.
« There’s a fight inside, » Roberts said. « We won two games in a row (before). But again, it all comes down to one game. We’ve been in a lot of elimination games and we found a way to get to the other side. »
