Fans eight in Friday's loss Gausman (3-2) took the loss Friday as the Blue Jays were downed 5-2 by the Rays, giving up four runs (three earned) on five hits and a walk over seven-plus innings. He struck out e...

Impact The veteran right-hander headed into the eighth inning with the score tied 2-2, but manager Charlie Montoyo's decision to try and squeeze a few more outs from Gausman backfired when Gausman gave up three straight hits to start the frame. He still wound up recording his fifth straight quality start, and Gausman will take a 2.40 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and stunning 54:2 K:BB through 45 innings into his next outing.

Sharp in third win Gausman (3-1) picked up the win in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Guardians, allowing one run on six hits and a walk over 6.1 innings. He struck out five.

Impact The right-hander fired 69 of 104 pitches for strikes in delivering his fourth straight quality start and winning his third straight decision. About the only blemish on Gausman's line was a fourth-inning free pass to Franmil Reyes that was not only his first of the season, it marked the first time he'd gone to a 3-0 count against a batter. Gausman is proving that his 2021 breakout was no fluke, posting a 2.13 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and career-best 33.6 percent strikeout rate through 38 innings.
