Rookie Trey Yesavage delivered a historic Game 5, striking out 12 to break Don Newcombe’s 1949 rookie record and fanning five in a row, as the Blue Jays beat the Dodgers 6-1 for a 3-2 World Series lead. The 22-year-old, who rose from Single-A to a September debut, allowed three hits and no walks, yielding only a Kike Hernández homer. Davis Schneider and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. opened with back-to-back leadoff homers, a World Series first, and late runs padded the edge. Praised by Dave Roberts, Yesavage called the ride “a crazy world.” Game 6 shifts to Toronto Friday.
