00:00Rookie pitcher makes history as Blue Jays take series lead.

00:04Trey Yesovich, 22, just authored a World Series game 5 marvel for the Blue Jays,

00:10announcing himself as baseball's breakout rookie.

00:13If you haven't heard his name yet, where have you been?

00:16After what he just pulled off in Game 5,

00:18he's writing one of the greatest rookie scripts in World Series history.

00:23From Low A to the World Series in one wild ride,

00:26Yesovich began the 2025 season in Low A ball

00:30and, after four levels of the minors in one season and an MLB debut in September,

00:35reached the World Series.

00:36In Game 5, he delivered 12 strikeouts, no walks, one earned run, and three hits.

00:43He dominated a Dodgers lineup featuring Shohei Otani, Mookie Betts, and Freddie Freeman,

00:48making them look ordinary.

00:54Those 12 strikeouts set a rookie record for a single World Series game,

00:59tying Tom Seaver and Walter Johnson, for most, by a rookie.

01:03No rookie pitcher in World Series history has ever reached 12 strikeouts with zero walks until Yesovich.

01:09According to reports, it's the first time a rookie has achieved that combination on the sport's biggest stage.

01:15Blue Jays' bats bring the thunder early.

01:18Davis Schneider opened the game with a home run,

01:20and two pitches later, Vlad Jr. followed him.

01:23It was 2-0 quickly, putting Dodgers' ace under pressure as the Jays kept scoring early.

01:28Even when Enrique Hernandez cut into the lead with a solo shot in the third,

01:32Toronto responded immediately with a sack fly, a wild pitch, and clutch singles from Bo Bichette and Isaiah Kiner-Falefa.

01:39Now the series heads north.

01:41Blue Jays lead 3-2, and the city is excited.

01:44Game 6 is Friday night at Rogers Centre.

01:47Kevin Gaussman will pitch for Toronto.

01:49The Dodgers turn to Yoshinobu Yamamoto.

01:52All of which leads to the big question.

01:54After what we just saw from Yesovich,

01:57good luck to anyone facing this momentum.
