Mariners Solve Yesavage, Roll 10-3 to Grab 2-0 ALCS Lead

A fastball-first plan muted Trey Yesavage’s splitter, sending the series to Seattle with Toronto searching for answers.

Overview

  • Seattle won Game 2 in Toronto 10-3 as rookie Trey Yesavage was charged with five runs over four-plus innings, putting the Mariners up 2-0 in the ALCS.
  • Mariners hitters described a plan to attack the fastball, and they saw more sliders than splitters, with limited swings at the signature pitch.
  • Julio Rodríguez launched a three-run homer on a splitter that stayed in the zone, keying Seattle’s early damage.
  • Yesavage struck out four with three walks and a hit batter as his command wavered and velocity dipped the deeper he went.
  • Manager John Schneider offered a measured assessment of the outing and bullpen calculus, and Game 3 shifts to T‑Mobile Park with Shane Bieber set to face George Kirby.
