[Watch] Trey Yesavage humbly performs rookie chores after historic outing in Dodgers vs Blue Jays World Series Game 5

Blue Jays rookie Trey Yesavage struck out 12 Los Angeles Dodgers sluggers in Game 5 of the 2025 World Series. No rookie pitcher has struck out 12 sluggers in a World Series game.

The 12 strikeouts increased his postseason tally to 34, surpassing Michael Wacha's record. Having struck out 11 New York Yankees sluggers in Game 2 of the ALDS [American League Division Series], Yesavage is now the only rookie to have multiple double-digit strikeout games in a single postseason.

Despite the historic outing in the pivotal Game 5 against the Dodgers, Yesavage has not shied away from his rookie duties. Blue Jays catcher Tyler Heineman shared a clip of it on his Instagram shortly after their victory over the Dodgers on Wednesday.

"I gotta share this because it’s just the kind of guy he is. Trey Yesavage with an incredible performance in the World Series, is STILL carrying beers for the boys (Rookie tradition in baseball). This guy is special ON and OFF the field," Heineman captioned the post.

With the victory in Game 5, the Blue Jays can seal the deal with a win on Friday at Rogers Stadium. Kevin Gausman will be on the mound in Game 6 against Yoshinobu Yamamoto.

Gausman and Yamamoto started for their respective teams in Game 2. Gausman delivered a solid outing, allowing three earned runs and striking out six over 6.2 innings. Meanwhile, Yamamoto was outstanding, pitching a complete game and giving up just one earned run on four hits while striking out eight.

Trey Yesavage shares the reason for his success in Game 5

After the Blue Jays took a 3-2 lead in the 2025 World Series with a 6-1 win over the Dodgers, starting pitcher Trey Yesavage talked with veteran MLB insider Jon Morosi for Fox Sports.

When Moroski asked about the reason for his success, Yesavage humbly credited god and his teammate.

"Just my belief, believing in myself, believing in my defense, believing in Kirky [Alejandro Kirk] behind the plate, and believing in God that he'd look over me today," Trey Yesavage said [From Timestamp 0:07].

Followed by the answer, Morosi enquired what he worked on after starting Game 1 on Friday, when he was taken out after four innings.

"I need to get in the strike zone when three of my pitches are in the strike zone, even two like part of tonight. I mean, I'm in control, so just getting into the strike zone and getting ahead," Yesavage replied.

The Blue Jays rookie concluded the interview showing love to his parents, eagerly awaiting seeing them on Friday at the Rogers Stadium for Game 6.
