The 2025 edition of the World Series has taken some serious twists and turns, including the historic 18-inning Game 3. However, what the baseball world witnessed in Game 5 was something that nobody — including the Toronto Blue Jays — could’ve possibly imagined.

On this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman talk about the incredible start from rookie Trey Yesavage, who shut down the Los Angeles Dodgers and has now put the Blue Jays within one win of their first World Series title since 1993. His historic performance, striking out 12 — a new record for a rookie pitcher in the Fall Classic — has certainly ignited the Blue Jays as the series shifts back to Toronto.

With the Blue Jays back in the driver’s seat for the first time since Game 1, the Dodgers will send out Yoshinobu Yamamoto, following his complete-game masterpiece, to try and force a Game 7. Can Kevin Gausman continue the stranglehold that Blue Jays starters have had over the past two games on the Dodgers’ offense? The guys also recap all the action from Game 4 and the incredible postseason run that Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has been on.
