Trey Yesavage Picking up Where he Left Off With Toronto Blue Jays
The former East Carolina pitcher spun four scoreless innings in the Blue Jays' 14-1 win against the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday
The Toronto Blue Jays have bounced back from their disappointing sweep at the hands of the Tampa Bay Rays from the past weekend. The Blue Jays clinched a series win against the Los Angeles Angels in game two of the three-game set Saturday. Toronto beat Los Angeles 14-1.
The Blue Jays won game one 2-0. While Toronto's offense put up its highest amount of runs this season, starting pitcher Trey Yesavage continued his triumphant return to the Blue Jays rotation. Yesavage had a delayed start to the season after suffering a right shoulder impingement in spring training.
This was a disappointing development for the Blue Jays top prospect, who made his debut in September of last year and registered three regular starts before being one of the team's most consistent hurlers in the postseason. During Toronto's playoff run, which saw the franchise win its first American League pennant since 1993, Yesavage posted a 3. 58 ERA and struck out 39 batters in 27.
