Who Wins

Pre-6, you win this lane at level 2 if you hit W+Q on Yunara — she has no dash pre-R and cannot escape your combo, and Blitzcrank cannot react fast enough to save her if you initiate correctly.
Post-6, Yunara's R gives her a dash on E which lets her escape or reposition through your combo, so your engage becomes riskier and you need to bait her R before committing to a full all-in.

Your best trading pattern is to W onto Yunara (not Blitzcrank) and immediately Q to knock her up, then let Ezreal follow with Q damage during the lockdown — Yunara is the kill target because she is immobile pre-R and is the damage threat.
After the combo, use your passive healing to sustain through any return damage and peel Ezreal from Blitzcrank hooks by positioning between Blitzcrank and Ezreal.

You should roam when the wave is shoved to the enemy tower and Blitzcrank is visible in lane — Blitzcrank is a poor roamer himself so you have a timing advantage, and your W+Q combo is one of the most reliable roam-kill tools in the game for mid lane ganks.
Avoid roaming when Ezreal is low or the wave is in a state where Blitzcrank can freely hook Ezreal without you present to peel.

Do not get baited into walking up to hook Blitzcrank — Blitzcrank's Q has longer range than your engage range and if you overextend trying to initiate, you become the hooked target, which removes your peel for Ezreal and puts you in a bad position.
Your job is to be the initiator on your terms, not to react to Blitzcrank's threat; always approach from an angle where you can W+Q before Blitzcrank can hook you.
