Welcome to "Daily Double Play: Your MLB Update," brought to you by Big Dill Sports. I’m Dillon, your host, here to dive into the latest and greatest in the world of baseball.
Let’s get right into the action with the American League Division Series, starting off with a stunning showdown in Toronto. The Blue Jays soared past the Yankees with a crushing 13-7 victory in Game 2, taking a strong 2-0 lead in the series. Rookie sensation Trey Yesavage was on fire, delivering 5 ⅓ innings of no-hit baseball. That’s a franchise rookie postseason record with 11 strikeouts. How about that for a debut?
Offensively, Daulton Varsho was electric, going 4 for 5 with two homers and two doubles, collecting four RBIs and scoring four times. And let’s not forget Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who nailed the first grand slam in Blue Jays postseason history. With a 9-0 lead by the fourth inning, it was all but over for the Yankees.
Switching gears to Seattle, the Mariners leveled their series with the Tigers, edging out a 3-2 win. Jorge Polanco was the hero, hitting two solo shots, and Julio Rodríguez sealed the deal with a clutch RBI double in the eighth. Andrés Muñoz closed it out, securing his first save of the series. Detroit put up a fight, with Riley Greene hitting a crucial double, but it wasn’t enough.
Now, on to the National League Division showdown where the Brewers brought the heat, eliminating the Cubs with a 3-1 win in Game 5. Milwaukee powered through with a trio of solo homers from William Contreras, Andrew Vaughn, and Brice Turang. The Brewers’ bullpen was untouchable, especially with Jacob Misiorowski delivering four scoreless innings.
On to the American League Championship Series, where Game 1 saw the Mariners take a 3-1 win against the Blue Jays. Bryce Miller, just three days after a marathon ALDS, allowed only one run over six innings. Despite an early homer by George Springer, the Mariners rallied with Cal Raleigh blasting a tying solo homer and Polanco’s RBI single clinching the lead. Seattle's bullpen shut it down from there, with Matt Brash and Andrés Muñoz sealing the victory.
Now, let’s spotlight the 'Big Dill' of the day—rookie right-hander Trey Yesavage. After a stellar postseason debut with the Blue Jays, he's been selected to start Game 2 of the ALCS against the Mariners. This rookie’s rise has been as fast as his pitches, and he's calling for respect as he bravely addresses online harassment directed at his family. Trey, you’re truly a class act on and off the field.
That wraps up today’s MLB update. Thanks for tuning in to "Daily Double Play." I’m Dillon, and until next time, keep hitting it out of the park!
