Kevin Gausman’s whitewash against the Astros

It was to the Blue Jays' advantage to win today's game against the Astros. And clearly, Kevin Gausman understood the mandate.

In a game that lasted just over two hours, Gausman delivered a superb performance. He pitched nine innings, giving up just two hits and one walk.

He didn't give up a run and put nine guys in the mitt. He needed 100 pitches to do so.

Unsurprisingly, he picked up the win. His teammates helped him win the series against the Astros by scoring six runs in an important duel in Toronto. That's a good one.

Things have been going really well for veteran Gausman in recent games, and he could be the Blue Jays' first playoff starter. He wouldn't have stolen it, in any case.

He received a standing ovation as he left the field.

Offensively speaking, the guys didn't break everything. But they did just enough (in addition to making the most of their opportunities via fine efficiency) to get out of there with an important win against a playoff club.

Nathan Lukes (two sure shots, one point produced), Addison Barger (one sure shot, two points produced), Daulton Varsho (two sure shots, one point produced) and Davis Schneider (two sure shots, one point produced) had the most notable performances.

Starting tomorrow, the Baltimore Orioles will be in town for a three-game series. After that, the Toronto club will travel to Tampa Bay and Kansas City for a week, before returning to host the Red Sox and Rays.

There are 16 games left in the season. The club has 84 wins and 62 losses.
