The Blue Jays are in the World Series while the Raptors and Maple Leafs are beginning their seasons. There is a chance that all three of these teams are playoff-caliber teams for the foreseeable future.</p><p>Earlier on Thursday, the Blue Jays announced that starter <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/toronto-blue-jays/blue-jays-news-rookie-trey-yesavage-gets-game-1-start-will-face-blake-snell">Trey Yesavage will toe the slab for Game 1</a>. There aren’t many athletes in Canada right now who have had as big a rise as this pitcher has. Yesavage only pitched 14 innings during the end of the regular season and has currently surpassed that in the postseason with 15 innings. He’s been very good, and the Jays feel that he can be the guy to help lead them to victory against Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Dodgers in the series opener.</p><p>Later, after the announcement, Yesavage <a href="https://x.com/adam_la2karis/status/1981435205349999076" rel="noopener">talked to the media</a>. He shared a story about his current living situation, as his life has been total chaos (in a good way) the last few months.</p><p>“You should see my truck right now. It looks like a mobile home. I’m changing hotel rooms every time we leave and come back. I’ve had to consolidate and only bring necessities in my suitcase with me.”</p><p>Yesavage also shared his reaction to <a href="https://x.com/adam_la2karis/status/1981435790447022465" rel="noopener">finding out</a> he was going to start Game 1.</p><p>“Got back to my hotel room. First call was to my girlfriend. Had to get a flight in line for her to come and see it. Second call was to my parents, had to let them know. Sleep last night was not easy.”</p><p>The game will start in just over 24 hours. This will be a big moment for a young pitcher who, so far, has proven that he can show up on the big stage. He will face a dynamic lineup of Ohtani, Mookie Betts, Freddy Freeman, and Toescar Hernandez.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The rookie right-hander scattered six hits, struck out seven, and forced three inning-ending double plays — all with the weight of elimination hanging over him — to carry the Jays to a 6–2 win over the Seattle Mariners and force a decisive Game 7 in the ALCS.</p><p>“This was the most electric, energized crowd I’ve ever played in front of,” Yesavage said. “The team rallied behind the fans. They were a huge motivation for us.”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">The <a href="https://twitter.com/BlueJays?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@BlueJays</a> had to win tonight.</p><p>Trey Yesavage did everything he could to make sure that happened 💪 <a href="https://t.co/aFfGDOC8M0">pic.twitter.com/aFfGDOC8M0</a></p><p>— MLB (@MLB) <a href="https://twitter.com/MLB/status/1980119065336152428?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 20, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>The Mariners had baserunners all night but could never capitalize, largely because Yesavage repeatedly escaped jams with calm precision. In the third, fourth, and fifth innings, Seattle grounded into double plays — two of them with the bases loaded — marking the first time in postseason history that a team hit into <a href="https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/46655621/guerrero-yesavage-shine-blue-jays-win-force-game-7" rel="noopener">back-to-back double plays</a> with the bags full. Yesavage became just the third pitcher ever to induce three straight inning-ending double plays in the playoffs, joining Chris Carpenter (2005) and Tom Glavine (1995). Not bad company for someone who was pitching in the Florida State League just five months ago.</p><p>“He’s answering the bell,” veteran pitcher Max Scherzer said. “You either have it in October or you don’t — and he’s showing he does.”</p><h2><b>Trey Yesavage dominates, forces a Game 7 in Toronto</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Trey-Yesavage_1a796f.jpg"><figcaption>Kevin Sousa-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Yesavage leaned heavily on his devastating splitter, throwing it 31 times and generating 10 whiffs. When paired with his mid-90s fastball, it left the Mariners guessing all night. “When he’s locating his fastball, that splitter’s untouchable,” said closer Jeff Hoffman. “He can just splitter everybody to death.”</p><p>The right-hander’s meteoric rise through Toronto’s system this season <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2025/10/20/trey-yesavage-blue-jays-mariners-game-6/" rel="noopener">has stunned even his teammates</a>. Drafted just last year, he started 2025 in Single-A before rapidly climbing through the minors to make his MLB debut in mid-September. In just over a month, he’s gone from minor-league prospect to postseason sensation.</p><p>“The ceiling on that guy is crazy,” said Kevin Gausman. “I couldn’t have made that start when I was 22.”</p><p>After Seattle tagged him for five runs in Game 2, Yesavage showed no nerves in the rematch. He embraced the moment — covering first base with calm confidence on a crucial 3-6-1 double play started by Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who also went deep later in the game to seal Toronto’s win.</p><p>With the Blue Jays now one win away from their first World Series since 1993, Yesavage’s poise has inspired belief throughout the clubhouse. “It can go either way in the postseason,” Scherzer said. “You can either pitch in this environment, or you can’t. Trey showed he belongs.”</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
