Trey Yesavage fans 11 in playoff debut as Blue Jays cruise - ESPN

TORONTO — Rookie Trey Yesavage set a Blue Jays postseason record by striking out 11 in 5⅓ no-hit innings, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit the first postseason grand slam in team history and Toronto beat the New York Yankees 13-7 on Sunday to take a 2-0 lead in the ALDS.

Daulton Varsho had four extra-base hits, including two home runs, and Ernie Clement and George Springer also homered as Toronto reached double figures in hits (15) and runs for the second straight game.

The Blue Jays had three home runs among their 14 hits Saturday in a 10-1 victory. They have as many home runs (eight) as strikeouts (seven) through two games.

Varsho went 4-for-5 with 2 doubles, 4 RBIs and 4 runs scored. Guerrero went 3-for-5 and scored twice.

Cody Bellinger homered and drove in three runs, and Ben Rice had two hits and an RBI in the loss. The Yankees scored five in the seventh, but it wasn't enough as Toronto won for the eighth time in nine home meetings with New York. The Blue Jays went 2-4 in six games at Yankee Stadium, where the series shifts for Game 3 on Tuesday night.

Yesavage (1-0) was selected by Toronto with the No. 20 pick last year in the amateur draft. The 22-year-old right-hander rose through four minor league levels this season before joining the Blue Jays and going 1-0 in three September starts.

Yesavage needed fewer than four innings to beat Toronto's previous record for postseason strikeouts, eight, held by Dave Steib, David Price (twice) and Juan Guzman.

«It's obviously a big stage,» Toronto manager John Schneider told FOX during his in-game interview. "[A] 22-year-old kid, he's throwing strikes and really commanding everything really well."

Known for his elite split-fingered fastball, Yesavage set a Blue Jays record by
