The Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Los Angeles Angels 14-1 on Saturday at Rogers Centre, fueled by a seven-run fifth inning and strong pitching from Trey Yesavage. Addison Barger made a spectacular return from injury with a record throw, while Brandon Valenzuela homered in his rising role behind the plate.
The Blue Jays capitalized on Angels miscues and timely hitting to end a stretch of offensive struggles. Yesavage allowed no runs over four innings, striking out six and showcasing an improved slider that generated multiple swings and misses. His performance improved his ERA to 0.68 through three starts this season.
