The Blue Jays’ star showed pure dominance against the Yankees’ might hitters. His splitter was stunning as the Yankees’ offense swung at 16 and whiffed 11 times. He also leaned on his primary fastball and his slider as an alternative. He set a franchise record with the Blue Jays for the most strikeouts in a postseason game.
