TORONTO — It didn’t seem like things could get much better for the Toronto Blue Jays after a 10-1 win in Game 1 of the American League Division Series on Saturday. Somehow, they found new heights. The Jays blasted 13 runs on Sunday as rookie starter Trey Yesavage delivered 5 1/3 no-hit innings.

Toronto can advance to the AL Championship Series, and eliminate the Yankees, with a win on Tuesday.
