Blue Jays' Kevin Gausman: Stuck with loss Saturday
Rotowire
Gausman (6-7) took the loss Saturday, giving up four runs (three earned) on five hits and two walks over five innings as the Blue Jays were downed 4-3 by the A's. He struck out two.
With the game tied 2-2 in the fifth inning, Gausman left a splitter up in the zone for Brent Rooker, and the A's slugger drove it over the left-field fence for a game-winning two-run homer. Gausman has struggled to find some consistency since the beginning of June, posting a 4.95 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 43:22 K:BB through 43.2 innings over his last eight starts, so the All-Star break comes at a good time for the veteran right-hander.

Blue Jays' Kevin Gausman: Inefficient in no-decision
Rotowire
Gausman didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 12-5 win over the Yankees, allowing two runs on six hits and four walks over five innings. He struck out three.
The veteran righty gave up two runs in the first inning but was able to escape any further damage despite constant traffic on the basepaths. Gausman got the hook after 99 pitches (62 strikes) with the Jays ahead 4-2, but the bullpen let the lead slip away in the seventh inning before the offense erupted late. It's the fifth time in his last six trips to the mound that Gausman's issued multiple free passes, a bumpy stretch in which he's posted a 5.18 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 32:17 K:BB over 33 innings. He'll try to tighten things up in his next start, which is scheduled to come at home this weekend against the Angels.

Rotowire
Gausman (5-6) took the loss in Thursday's game against the Diamondbacks, allowing seven runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out four across 4.1 innings.
Gausman was rocked for four runs from Eugenio Suarez by virtue of a two-run homer in the second inning and a two-run double in the third before being tagged for three more in the fifth. Only 46 of Gausman's 81 pitches resulted in strikes, and the seven runs he allowed were his most in a start since June 30, 2024 against the Yankees. His 1.13 WHIP (across 86 innings) is 14th best in the American League among qualified starters, but his 4.60 ERA is eighth worst. Gausman is slated to make his next start against the Guardians on the road next week.

The 34-year-old ace is up to 4.08 ERA across 81.2 innings this season, but his 1.07 WHIP ranks 10th among qualified starters in the American League. He's slated to face the Diamondbacks at home next week.

Rotowire
Gausman came away with a no-decision in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Twins, giving up three runs on four hits and three walks over six innings. He struck out five.
The veteran righty's control and command deserted him in the fourth inning, as Gausman put five straight batters aboard on two singles, two walks and a hit-by-pitch -- the first time he'd issued multiple free passes in an outing since April 27 -- but he was otherwise effective en route to his seventh quality start of the season. He'll take a 3.87 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 73:17 K:BB through 76.2 innings into his next start, which lines up to come on the road next weekend in Philadelphia.
