TORONTO (Interstat) — In a stunning and record-setting postseason performance, rookie right-hander Trey Yesavage authored 5 1/3 no-hit innings and the Toronto Blue Jays’ offense exploded for a second consecutive game, pounding the New York Yankees 13-7 on Sunday evening to seize a commanding 2-0 lead in the American League Division Series.

A sold-out crowd of 44,764 at Rogers Centre witnessed a historic afternoon as the Blue Jays combined dominant pitching with a relentless offensive barrage. Yesavage was the story early, setting a franchise postseason record with 11 strikeouts while completely baffling a potent Yankees lineup. The 21-year-old did not allow a hit and walked just one batter before exiting with one out in the sixth inning.

The Blue Jays, who amassed 15 hits in the game after collecting 14 in a 10-1 Game 1 victory, have now outscored the Yankees 23-8 through the first two games of the series. They have as many home runs, eight, as strikeouts, seven, a testament to their disciplined and powerful approach at the plate.

Yesavage earned the win, improving to 2-0, while Yankees ace Max Fried, who entered the game with a 19-6 record, was tagged with the loss after surrendering five runs on seven hits over 2 2/3 innings.

The game was a tale of two halves, with Toronto building an insurmountable lead before New York mounted a late, but ultimately futile, comeback.

The Yankees, held hitless into the sixth inning, finally broke through against the Toronto bullpen. Aaron Judge singled with two outs to end the combined no-hit bid, and Cody Bellinger followed with a two-run home run to right field, putting New York on the board.

New York’s offense truly awoke in the seventh inning, sending 11 men to the plate and scoring five runs to cut the deficit to 13-7. The rally included an RBI single from Judge, a sacrifice fly from Bellinger, a run-scoring double from Ben Rice and a two-run single from Giancarlo Stanton.

However, the Blue Jays’ bullpen, after a shaky seventh, locked the game down. Louis Varland, Seranthony Domínguez, Mason Fluharty and Luke Weaver combined for 3 2/3 innings of scoreless, hitless relief to seal the victory.

The offensive fireworks for Toronto began in the second inning. Daulton Varsho led off with a double and advanced to third on an error by Judge in right field. Ernie Clement then launched a two-run homer to left field, giving the Blue Jays an early 2-0 lead.

They extended their lead with a three-run third inning. After a walk and a single, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. scored on an RBI groundout from Alejandro Kirk. Varsho then doubled home another run, and Clement followed with an RBI single to make it 5-0.

The fourth inning was the decisive blow, a six-run outburst that shattered the game open. With the bases loaded and one out, Guerrero Jr. stepped to the plate and launched a monumental grand slam to left field, the first in Blue Jays postseason history, extending the lead to 9-0. The inning continued as Alejandro Kirk singled, and Varsho immediately followed with a two-run homer to right-center field, capping the scoring at 11-0.

Toronto added single runs in the fifth and sixth innings. George Springer hit a solo home run in the fifth, and Varsho launched his second homer of the game, a solo shot in the sixth, to finish his spectacular afternoon.

Varsho was the offensive star, going 4 for 5 with two home runs, a double, four RBIs and four runs scored. Guerrero Jr. finished 3 for 5 with his historic grand slam and four RBIs. Clement added three hits, including a home run, and three RBIs, while Springer had two hits, including a homer.

For the Yankees, Bellinger drove in three runs, while Stanton and Rice each had two hits in the losing effort.

The series now shifts to Yankee Stadium for Game 3 on Tuesday. The Blue Jays will look to close out the series, while the Yankees, who finished the regular season with a 96-71 record, face elimination. Toronto improved to 96-68.

According to Interstat, the final score was an upset, as the Yankees were projected to win 8-6 and were installed as pregame favorites with a spread of -1.5. The total score of 20 far exceeded the over/under line of 8.
