Trey Yesavage Dominates to Send the Blue Jays Home with a 3-2 Series Lead

Eno, DVR, and Trevor discuss Trey Yesavage's dominant performance in Game 5 as the Blue Jays head back to Toronto with a 3-2 series lead, a puzzling decision from Dodgers manager Dave Roberts in the seventh inning when the game was still within reach, and the potential fatigue catching up to the older roster in this series after an 18-inning marathon in Game 3. Plus, they look ahead to the Game 6 matchup as Yoshinobu Yamamoto squares off against Kevin Gausman for the second time.
