The Toronto Blue Jays are now just toying with the Los Angeles Dodgers, and there is nothing the Dodgers can do about it. All the Dodgers can do is go and take the beating cause the whole team has been a letdown. But not for the Blue Jays, from their pitching to their hitting, everyone has stepped up. And in Game 5 of the World Series, Trey Yesavage showed the world why he is often talked about.

Before the game, Trey Yesavage‘s girlfriend, Taylor Frick, posted in her story a poster of Yesavage with the quote, “BEST DAY EVER!!!” And looking at the day Yesavage just had, it literally is one of the best days a pitcher can have. Guess this is how manifestation works.

Trey Yesavage walked into Dodger Stadium on Wednesday with the noise of doubt still trailing him. By the time he left the mound after seven innings, that noise turned into applause. The 22-year-old rookie struck out 12 Dodgers, allowed two hits, and gave up only one run. Kiké Hernández’s third-inning home run was the lone blemish on a night that showed complete command.

Those 12 strikeouts did more than silence a lineup; they rewrote 76 years of World Series history. Trey Yesavage broke Don Newcombe’s record of 11 strikeouts by a rookie, set in 1949 against the Yankees. He also became the youngest pitcher ever to record double-digit strikeouts in a World Series game. Every batter in the Dodgers lineup struck out at least once, confirming that his control was unshakable.

What made the night feel more cinematic was the presence of greatness in the stands. Sandy Koufax and Don Newcombe, both tied to World Series lore, saw a new chapter unfold before them.

Yesavage’s 12 strikeouts without a walk set another postseason record and placed him among legends like Orlando Hernández and Bob Gibson. For those inside Dodger Stadium, it felt like baseball’s past and future shook hands on the same mound.

Trey Yesavage didn’t just pitch a gem; he rewrote how rookies handle October pressure. Don Newcombe watched as his own history bowed gracefully to a new generation’s command. If this is how the Blue Jays toy, the Dodgers might want to hide the bats.

The Blue Jays and Trey Yesavage just showed the Dodgers what teamwork is

The Los Angeles Dodgers just lost Game 5 of the World Series 6-1, and now trail the Blue Jays 3-2. And all the Blue Jays need is one more game, and they will have the crown. The one thing we have learnt from all 5 games is that the Dodgers are running on star power, and the Blue Jays have exposed them.

The Dodgers have won 2 of the 5 games, and from the outside, it looks like a great team has outdone them, but in reality, all the Toronto Blue Jays needed to do was the bare minimum.

All props to the Blue Jays: after a tough Game 3 loss, they didn’t get it to their heads and bounced back with a win, and now lead the series. The Dodgers, who have won 2 games, won it thanks to two performances in beast mode.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Shohei Ohtani were great in Games 2 and 3 of the World Series, single-handedly pulling off the win for the Dodgers. But other than that, they have nothing to show for.

Their offense has fallen silent, the bullpen is showing cracks again, and even their starting pitching is looking shaky. While the Blue Jays have Trey Yesavage breaking records, the offense is backing him up.

With the teams heading to Toronto for Game 6 of the World Series, the Dodgers had better find a plan to get the team going, or they might as well hand the trophy to the Blue Jays right now and save themselves from taking a long flight to Toronto.
