The Toronto Blue Jays won 6-1 against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday, moving within one win of their first Major League Baseball (MLB) World Series title in more than three decades.

With 12 strikeouts, the 22-year-old Yesavage broke a record that had existed since 1949, breaking a previous rookie World Series record that had existed since 1949.

The right-hander continued a strong season by striking out every Dodger at least once and limiting Los Angeles to three hits in seven innings with no walks.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who had already homered two pitches later, gave the Blue Jays a dream start when Davis Schneider hit the first home run off of Los Angeles starter Blake Snell.

A team opened a game with back-to-back home runs in the World Series, which was the first time in MLB history. Guerrero Jr’s eighth round-tripper set the record for the second-most postseason home runs in MLB history.

In the third inning, Kike Hernandez hit a solo shot off Yesavage to put the Dodgers on the scoreboard with his postseason home run.

However, Toronto responded right away in the top of the fourth when Daulton Varsho tripled on a liner to right after Teoscar Hernandez’ risky play and scored on Ernie Clement’s sacrifice fly to end the two-run lead.

Snell threw 116 pitches, the third-most of his career, before leaving with two on and two outs and two wild pitches, the second of which advanced Addison Barger to third base and advanced to walk Andres Gimenez.

When Edgardo Henriquez threw a wild pitch to Guerrero Jr., which gave Barger the lead, the inning came to an end and made it 4-1. Gimenez was brought in by a single to right, which Bichette did to increase Toronto’s lead to 5–1.

In the eighth inning, Toronto added another run with a single from Isiah Kiner-Falefa, who had booed the Dodger Stadium crowd. Ernie Clement singled, advanced to second on a wild pitch from Anthony Banda, and scored from third on a single from Isiah Kiner-Falefa.

In the final two frames, the Dodgers stayed quiet as a runner reached first base, and Mookie Betts flied out before Freddie Freeman and Teoscar Hernandez struck out in the ninth inning.

Dodgers seeking solutions

Yesavage was praised by Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, who also expressed disappointment with the team’s defensive struggles and missed opportunities.

Roberts told reporters, “Giving up bases changes the lineup, and it has an impact on the game going forward. We’re at elimination, and we need to wipe the slate clean and find a way to win game six, according to Blake, but the ball game gave up bases and didn’t convert outs tonight.

“We’re not doing a good job,” the statement read. We must make adjustments, arrive prepared, and compete. All we can do is that.

He continued, “A lot of poise,” on Yesavage’s appearance. No gloom Pretty impressive in what he did.

John Schneider, the manager of the Blue Jays, also praised his rookie player.

“Historic stuff,” His split and slider were stunning. He claimed that he was swing-and-missing and in the zone tonight.

In a potential championship-clinching Game Six, the Blue Jays take their first shot at a World Series title since 1993, starting Kevin Gausman against Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Ohtani as a probable reliever for the first time.

Schneider continued, “It feels great to give the ball to Kevin Gausman for Game 6. Yamamoto and I had a very difficult matchup, but this was a very good team win.

EDITOR’S ANALYSIS

Kennedy used a more moderate tone in a press conference on Wednesday than he has in his previous public appearances.

According to Kennedy, “the causative association between Tylenol taken during pregnancy and the perinatal period is not sufficient to say that it definitely causes autism.” However, it has a very suggestive quality.

He continued, “There should be a cautious approach to it.” Consult your doctor is what we say to patients, mothers, pregnant women, and young children’s mothers.

The statement from Wednesday is more in line with the advice of reputable health organizations.

There haven’t been any conclusive findings in some studies, despite the possibility that Tylenol may have contributed to autism. Before taking the medication, pregnant women are advised to consult a doctor.

Despite “extensive research,” no consistent association has been established between the medication and autism, according to the World Health Organization in September.

However, contrary claims have already sparked restrictions on the sale of Tylenol, a well-known brand of acetaminophen, a fever- and pain-relieving medication.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit on Tuesday, accusing Johnson &amp, Johnson, and Kenvue, the manufacturers of the over-the-counter pain reliever, of deceptive practices.

He did so by reiterating misinformation that President Donald Trump and other government figures like Kennedy have shared.

In a statement, Paxton said, “We will help Make America Healthy Again,” a nod to Kennedy’s MAHA motto.

The lawsuit claims that Johnson &amp, Johnson, and Kenvue “deceptively promoted Tylenol as the only safe painkiller for pregnant women” in violation of Texas consumer protection laws.

It was the most recent instance of top officials spreading scientific lies. Throughout their political careers, Trump and Kennedy have repeatedly disseminated scientific nonsense.

Trump made the connection between autism and the painkiller during a press conference in September, but without providing any credible scientific evidence to support it.

Is it acceptable to use acetaminophen? Trump stated on September 22 that taking Tylenol, which is essentially, commonly known as Tylenol, during pregnancy increases the risk of autism. Thus, Tylenol consumption is harmful. I’ll say it. It is not good.

Despite not having any formal medical training, Kennedy has made his own sweeping statements regarding Tylenol and its alleged risks.

In a cabinet meeting on October 9, he said, “Anyone who takes this stuff during pregnancy, unless they do, is irresponsible.”

Early this month, Kennedy also mischaracterized studies on male circumcision. He made up his false claim that studies showed that children who were “circumcised early” had more autism.

He continued, “It’s highly likely because they’ve been given Tylenol.”

In a statement released on Tuesday, Kenvue emphasized that acetaminophen is the safest option for pregnant women, noting that if left untreated, high fevers and pain could lead to premature births.
