Trey Yesavage, 22, delivered a playoff breakout in Game 2, spinning 5 1/3 no-hit innings with 11 strikeouts against the Yankees as Toronto opened a 2-0 ALDS lead.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. joined the highlight reel with the Jays' first postseason grand slam, while Daulton Varsho homered and Ernie Clement added key hits as Toronto overwhelmed New York. The organization’s aggressive development paid off, and Yesavage vaulted Toronto toward the ALCS behind a historic playoff start.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. opened the ALDS with a first-inning homer off Luis Gil, then Alejandro Kirk followed with a first-pitch solo shot as Toronto rode 14 hits to a 10-1 win over the Yankees. Daulton Varsho added two hits and Kevin Gausman worked 5 2/3 strong innings, while Louis Varland escaped a bases-loaded jam to keep New York quiet. Yesavage gets the Game 2 assignment in New York against Fried, with Bichette off the 26-man roster and Toronto riding a deep, productive lineup.

Toronto showed depth and discipline, combining Guerrero and Kirk for power with multi-hit nights from Lukes and Gimenez, and a bullpen that tightened late. The Jays' first playoff win in nine years sets a momentum path through a short series, where timely hitting and solid pitching could pace the path to an upset in the Bronx.

Blue Jays battery powered by early solo shots, then a six-pitch walk by Trent Grisham opened the floodgates as Toronto unraveled the Yankees in a 10-1 rout. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Alejandro Kirk supplied the power, while Kevin Gausman battled through danger with splitter-fueled sequences. Toronto’s bullpen slammed the door and the offense exploded for seven more runs, reshaping the series narrative and highlighting Jays depth for fantasy pivots.

Fantasy angles tilt toward Guerrero Jr. and Kirk as obvious holds; Gausman’s sequence and Varland’s setup inning matter for pitching staff planning; Judge’s big-leverage at-bat remains a focal point for Yankees adjustments. The Jays’ all-around approach signals a blueprint to lean on in a long series.
