Toronto Blue Jays Starter Has Wonderful Outing On May 23

Toronto Blue Jays starter Kevin Gausman was great in his last start.

Toronto Blue Jays Starting Pitcher Kevin Gausman had a dominant start on May 23 on the road against the Detroit Tigers. Gausman tossed six innings and surrendered one earned run while striking out a season-high 10 batters as the Blue Jays dominated the Detroit Tigers 9-1 on Thursday. The previous season-high in strikeouts for Gausman was eight on May 4 against the Washington Nationals.

Gausman entered Thursday’s game coming off a solid start the last time he took the mound. He surrendered three earned runs over six innings of work at home against the Tampa Bay Rays.

Gausman has been inconsistent thus far this season. He has three starts where he surrendered five or more earned runs and six starts where he surrendered one earned run or fewer. Gausman is 3-3 this season with an ERA of 4.47.

Will Gausman be able to carry this momentum into his next start?

Gausman’s next scheduled start is on Tuesday, May 28, on the road against the Chicago White Sox. The Toronto Blue Jays continue their four-game set this evening against the Detroit Tigers.
