Yesavage sets Blue Jays mark, striking out 11 in MLB playoff debut to key rout of Yankees

The Toronto Blue Jays are one win away from advancing to the American League Championship Series.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit a grand slam and rookie starter Trey Yesavage was masterful in his fourth career big-league start as Toronto beat the visiting New York Yankees 13-7 on Sunday.

The victory gave Toronto a 2-0 lead in the best-of-five AL Division Series. Toronto dumped New York 10-1 in Game 1.

Daulton Varsho hit two homers for the Blue Jays. Ernie Clement and George Springer also went deep for Toronto in front of a sellout crowd of 44,764 at Rogers Centre.

Yesavage had 11 strikeouts over 5 1/3 no-hit innings, a Blueu Jays post-season record. Aaron Judge ended the combined no-hit bid in the sixth with an infield single off reliever Justin Bruihl.

The Blue Jays can complete a three-game sweep with a win on Tuesday in a 8:08 p.m. ET start at Yankee Stadium. Toronto hasn’t won a playoff series since 2016.
