Episode Details

The Blue Jays are sliding through a rough patch after three straight losses, with Kevin Gausman admitting the team feels like they’re taking two steps back for every four forward. Despite last year’s similar record leading to a World Series run, this season’s injuries have forced more players into bigger roles, adding pressure. Gausman, frustrated with his own inconsistency—especially giving up early runs like the two in the first inning—says he needs to pitch smarter and tighter. In Tuesday’s loss, he struggled with his splitter and experimented with his slider, ultimately surrendering a game-winning solo homer to Matt Olson on a high-launch-angle mistake. Manager John Schneider acknowledged Gausman’s effort and swing-and-miss moments, but conceded that a few well-timed hits and one bad pitch sealed the game. Still, Gausman remains confident the team can turn things around.
