By Canadian Press on October 5, 2025.

TORONTO — Rookie pitcher Trey Yesavage will get the start as the Toronto Blue Jays aim to take a 2-0 lead over the New York Yankees in the best-of-five American League Division Series.

Toronto routed the Yankees 10-1 in Saturday’s Game 1 at Rogers Centre.

Max Fried will take the mound for New York.

Toronto and New York had identical 94-68 records at the end of the regular season but the Blue Jays won the AL East Division title based on a tiebreaker after winning the two teams’ season series.

Game 3 is in the Bronx on Tuesday with Shane Bieber expected to start for Toronto.

The Blue Jays and Yankees have never faced each other in the post-season before.
