The World Series has been an intriguing one so far, with both the Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers taking a game each in rather different ways.
Game one was an offensive outburst from the Blue Jays, and game two was a pitching masterclass by the Dodgers. Unfortunately for Toronto, they had a good starting pitching performance as well, but were unable to capitalize because the Dodgers’ Yoshinobu Yamamoto would not let off the gas.
Kevin Gausman of the Blue Jays did quite well given the lineup he was going against, and despite a few home runs given up at the end of his stint, he had an overall quality pitching performance. With that said, things just got out of hand as the Dodgers won, 5-1, and the Blue Jays struggled to connect at the plate.
Between Gausman and Yamamoto, there was an MLB postseason record that was set as the two combined to make history. Despite Toronto ending up with a loss, they can at least feel good about how their starting pitching performed through the first two matchups.
