Toronto. Rookie Trey Yesavage set a Blue Jays postseason record by striking out 11 in 5 1/3 hitless innings, Dominican-Canadian Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit the first playoff grand slam in team history and Toronto beat the New York Yankees 13-7 to take a 2-0 lead in the Major League Baseball Division Series.
Daulton Varsho hit two home runs among his four extra-base hits; Ernie Clement and George Springer also homered, as Toronto reached double figures in hits (15) and runs for the second consecutive game. The homers hit three home runs, two by Mexican Alejandro Kirk.
Yesavage (1-0) was selected by Toronto with the 20th overall pick last year in the amateur draft. The 22-year-old right-hander rose through four levels of the minor leagues this season before joining the Blue Jays and going 1-0 in three starts in September.
Tijuana-born catcher Kirk, after a tremendous Saturday, hit a single, scored a run, and drove in one yesterday. With this victory, the home team has the New York Yankees on the brink of collapse.
In the second game of the Division Series, a single by Dominican Julio Rodríguez in the bottom of the eighth inning gave the Seattle Mariners a 3-2 victory over the Detroit Tigers and tied the series.
In this game, Sinaloa closer Andrés Muñoz closed out a clean ninth inning to maintain the victory, tying the game. It was Seattle's first home win in the playoffs since 2001.
With the series tied 1-1, Game 3 will be played tomorrow at Comerica Park (Detroit).

Orchard Park, Pa., Drake Maye led the Patriots on a 37-yard drive to set up Andy Borregales’ field goal with 15 seconds left, and New England beat the Buffalo Bills 23-20, leaving the NFL with no undefeated teams five weeks into the season. Stefon Diggs had 10 catches for 146 yards for the Patriots (3-2) in his first game in Buffalo since the Bills traded him to Houston in April 2024. Rhamondre Stevenson rushed for two touchdowns , the second set up by Diggs’ 32-yard reception. Maye completed 22 of 30 passes for 273 yards, and no pass was more impressive than when he started the final drive by eluding a sack by Bills defensive tackle DaQuan Jones.
