Rookie Trey Yesavage started Game 1 of the 2025 World Series, leading the Toronto Blue Jays to an 11‑4 win and becoming the second‑youngest pitcher ever to open a World Series.
The Blue Jays hit the Bronx with a 3-game lead over Boston and 4 over New York, holding the head-to-head tiebreaker against both rivals. With 22 games left for Toronto and the Yankees, this weekend’s series could tilt the AL East and shape wild-card seeding. Gausman, Scherzer, and Bassitt face Schlittler, Gil, and Fried in a marquee set marked by hot bats and shaky bullpens.
