Blue Jays 2-0 ALDS Lead, Set Run Record

The Toronto Blue Jays took a 2-0 lead in the 2025 ALDS, outscoring the New York Yankees 23-8 and setting a postseason record for most runs by a team in the first two games of a series. In Game 2 Toronto won 13-7 as rookie Trey Yesavage struck out a Blue Jays postseason-record 11 batters over 5 1/3 no-hit innings. Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s fourth-inning grand slam and Daulton Varsho’s 4-for-5 night with two homers and four RBIs powered the offense. Yankees ace Max Fried was roughed up, allowing seven runs in just over three innings, and New York’s bullpen has surrendered multiple key runs in both games. The series shifts to Yankee Stadium for Game 3 (reported pitching matchup Shane Bieber vs. Carlos Rodón), and elsewhere the Mariners rallied late to even their ALDS with the Tigers 1-1.
