Overview

  • Kevin Gausman threw 53 pitches in the third inning, tying a Blue Jays franchise record, and allowed six runs with five walks in the process.
  • The outing marked the most pitches thrown in a single inning since Cam Vieaux's 56-pitch inning in 2022, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
  • Gausman's ERA increased from 3.16 to 4.50, and his five walks in the inning were just one shy of his career high for an entire game.
  • Both Gausman and Blue Jays manager John Schneider were ejected by home-plate umpire Chris Conroy; Schneider's ejection followed his argument over a strike call on Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
  • The Blue Jays lost the first game of the doubleheader to the Yankees 11-2, with Gausman being replaced after his grueling third inning.
