Overview

  • Kevin Gausman was ejected after allowing six runs and walking five during a grueling 53-pitch third inning, the most pitches in a single inning since 2022.
  • The Yankees capitalized on patient at-bats, drawing five walks and securing a three-run double by Austin Wells to break the game open.
  • Blue Jays manager John Schneider was also ejected in the fifth inning for arguing a called strike on Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
  • Yankees pitcher Max Fried earned his fifth consecutive win, allowing just one run over six innings to lower his ERA to 1.43.
  • The loss raised Gausman’s ERA from 3.16 to 4.50, marking his shortest outing in over a year and a significant setback for the Blue Jays' rotation.
