Blue Jays on brink of World Series crown after Yesavage tames Dodgers in Game 5

• Yesavage fans 12 to set rookie Series record

• Schneider, Guerrero Jr open with back-to-back HRs

• Toronto can clinch title Friday on home field

Trey Yesavage delivered a performance for the ages and Davis Schneider homered on the very first pitch of the night as the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-1 on Wednesday, moving within one victory of their first World Series championship since 1993.

The 22-year-old Yesavage, who made his major league debut in September, struck out 12 without issuing a walk - the first pitcher in World Series history to do so - while allowing one run on three hits across seven innings. The rookie right-hander, who began the year pitching before a few hundred fans in Class A ball, has now started and won two of Toronto's three victories in the best-of-seven series.
