Trey Yesavage’s girlfriend Taylor Frick drops 2-word message after Blue Jays pitcher makes World Series history with 12 Ks

The Toronto Blue Jays are one win away from clinching their first World Series title in more than three decades after rookie sensation Trey Yesavage's historic performance against the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 5 on Wednesday.

The 22-year-old rookie ace made his fifth postseason start at Dodger Stadium and restricted the Dodgers to just one earned run over seven dominant innings. Yesavage registered 12 strikeouts, the most by a rookie pitcher in a World Series game.

Yesavage's girlfriend, Taylor Frick, reacted to his historic outing in a 6-1 win for the Blue Jays.

"Still crying," Frick captioned her Instagram story featuring Yesavage's stats from the game.

He reached the feat by surpassing Don Newcombe's record of 11 strikeouts in Game 1 of the 1949 World Series. He also broke the record for most strikeouts by a rookie in the postseason after registering his seventh strikeout in the game to take his tally to 34 (now 39).

Yesavage is the first pitcher since the New York Yankees' Orlando Hernández in 2000 to register 12 strikeouts in a Fall Classic game. He joined Dodgers legend Clayton Kershaw and Newcombe on the list of pitchers to have 12 strikeouts without issuing a walk in a World Series game.

Trey Yesavage conceded three hits over his seven innings as the Blue Jays offense backed their rookie on the mound by scoring six runs. Following Yesavage's exit, Toronto's relievers Seranthony Domínguez and Jeff Hoffman shut out the Dodgers in the next two innings, allowing just one hit.

The Blue Jays rookie reflected on his performance after the win.

“When three of my pitches are in the strike zone, or even two, like part of tonight, I mean, I’m in control,” Yesavage said. “Just stay in the strike zone and get ahead.”

Yesavage also had 11 strikeouts in ALDS Game 2 against the New York Yankees, making him the first pitcher in MLB history to have multiple 10+ strikeouts games in the same postseason.
