After coming off his first complete game shutout in the MLB, the Toronto Blue Jays have announced that Kevin Gausman will take the mound in Game 1 VS the Guardians.
Time to Gaus up ⛽️
@KevinGausman is our Game One starter! #NextLevel
The Toronto Blue Jays are trying to bounce back after dropping the 3-game series to the Milwaukee Brewers this week. After his masterful performance last game, Gausman is taking the mound to set the tone in Game 1.
The Toronto Blue Jays will have their hands full though as they are set to face Logan Allen who pitches from the left-side, which the Jays have struggled against all year.
The Jays are terrible vs lefties:
87 wRC+ (25th)
Logan Allen is another soft-tossing lefty, similar to Bailey Falter, who went 6 IP, 0 ER vs Toronto.
Kevin Gausman is pitching for the Jays, fresh off a CG SO.
The Jays will host the Guardians tonight at 7:07pm E.T.
