Toronto Blue Jays rookie Trey Yesavage received a standing ovation at Rogers Center after he exited the mound in the sixth inning. The Blue Jays' starting pitcher threw five scoreless innings before allowing a solo home run to Josh Naylor in the sixth. He was pulled out after 5.2 innings after allowing a single to the Mariners.
When he walked back to the dugout, the entire Rogers Center was on its feet to acknowledge the rookie's stellar performance in do-or-die ALCS Game 6.

Yesavage's girlfriend, Taylor Frick, was also keenly watching the game closely on her TV. She posted a four-word reaction on the rookie's electric start:
"my show is on."
Coming into Game 6, the Blue Jays were facing elimination, so this was a high-leverage "must-win" start for the rookie. He went for runs when he started ALCS Game 2 against the Mariners. But this time, he held his ground when it was most needed.During the game, the rookie escaped multiple high-leverage situations, including a bases-loaded situation in the third and fourth innings. He came out of them without allowing a run. He induced three consecutive inning-ending double plays in the third, fourth and fifth inning.
