After a two‑hour rain delay, the Toronto Blue Jays edged the New York Yankees 2‑1 on Wednesday night. In the seventh inning, Trey Yesavage, still a rookie, loaded the bases with an infield single, a walk and a bunt. Andres Giménez then lured an 11‑pitch walk that scored Ernie Clement.

Yesavage stayed quiet for six shutout innings, striking out eight and walking none. The 22‑year‑old, who returned after a shoulder impingement, posted a 1.07 ERA in five starts this season. His three strikeouts against Aaron Judge—four strikes in a row—highlighted his dominance, while he remains perfect against homers in eight career starts for the Blue Jays' pitching corps, maintaining a clean record.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. capped the rally with a sacrifice fly off Jake Bird, making it 2‑0. The Yankees’ offense stalled until the ninth when Louis Varland threatened, but Paul Goldschmidt’s run‑scoring single fell short. Jeff Hoffman closed out the game, striking out Amed Rosario with a 99‑mph fastball for his sixth save and securing the victory for Toronto.

Yankees pitcher Cam Schlittler, 6‑2, surrendered eight hits and two walks while striking out seven, raising his ERA to 1.50. The contest marked the first matchup between Yesavage and Schlittler since their rookie playoff duel last season, where each posted dominant outings. With the Jays’ record now 29‑25, the win keeps them in contention for a postseason spot.
