"By IAN HARRISON TORONTO (AP) Rookie Trey Yesavage set a Blue Jays postseason record by striking out 11 in 5 1/3 no-hit innings, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit the first postseason grand slam in team history and Toronto beat the New York Yankees 13-7 on Sunday to take a 2-0 lead in the ALDS. Daulton Varsho had two home runs among his four extra base hits, and Ernie Clement and George Springer also both homered as Toronto reached double figures in hits (15) and runs for the second straight game."
"Yesavage (1-0) was selected by Toronto with the No. 20 pick last year in the amateur draft. The 22-year-old right-hander rose through four minor league levels this season before joining the Blue Jays and going 1-0 in three September starts. Yesavage needed fewer than four innings to beat Toronto's previous record for postseason strikeouts, eight, held by Dave Steib, David Price (twice) and Juan Guzman. Known for his elite split-finger fastball, Yesavage set a Blue Jays record by striking out nine Rays batters in his Sept. 15 debut. Eight of his 11 strikeouts Sunday came on the splitter. The other three came on fastballs that reached 96 mph."
Trey Yesavage struck out 11 batters in 5 1/3 no-hit innings, setting a Blue Jays postseason record and helping Toronto beat the New York Yankees 13-7. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. produced the franchise's first postseason grand slam. Daulton Varsho went 4 for 5 with two home runs, two doubles, four runs scored and four RBIs. Ernie Clement, George Springer and Cody Bellinger also homered, and Ben Rice added two hits and two RBIs in a five-run seventh. Toronto collected 15 hits and 13 runs, taking a 2-0 lead in the ALDS.
