Yesavage fanned 12 batters over seven innings at Dodger Stadium, giving the Blue Jays a 3-2 series lead. His 23 swings and misses set a new benchmark, the most recorded in a World Series game since pitch tracking began in 2008.
Yesavage said, “Walking from the bullpen to the dugout, I took a moment to look around the stadium, see all the fans. I was hoping I would send ’em home upset.”
