Kevin Gausman faced significant challenges in his recent starts for the Toronto Blue Jays, highlighted by a difficult game against the Colorado Rockies where he pitched 3.2 innings, allowing 6 earned runs and 10 hits. The Rockies managed hard contact consistently, including six hits over 100 mph. Gausman noted his reliance on his splitter and slider, attributing these to his poor performance, which includes a 11.57 ERA over 9.1 innings this season. The Rockies capitalized on his struggles, achieving a season-high 20 hits in one of the games, marking their first win in franchise history against the Blue Jays in Toronto.

Giancarlo Stanton is simply too quick and agile https://t.co/1JEVu63dZa
Giancarlo Stanton was too elusive on the base paths for the Jays https://t.co/i8aERrMDl6
#Yankees open the scoring on an RBI single by Alex Trevino. Davis Schneider had Giancarlo Stanton dead to rights trying to score, but Danny Jansen just plain dropped the throw. Would have ended the inning. #Bluejays down 1-0 top2.
Trevi knock 👊 https://t.co/OpexiQIOpy
Rodon strikes out Turner and Davis Schneider to strand a couple #Bluejays in bot1, but needed to throw 31 pitches in the inning. Should be good news as the evening progresses.
Rodon strikes out Turner and Schneider after two men reach with one out but did need 32 pitches to get through the first
The Blue Jays made Carlos Rodon work hard in a scoreless first inning. Rodon throws 32 pitches, including Bo Bichette's 12-pitch walk.
love how that slider works off the cutter…Rodon is grinding this out!
Bo Bichette works a 12-pitch walk, putting two #Bluejays on with one out for Justin Turner.
A great start in the first inning for Yusei Kikuchi! 🔥 Watch the Blue Jays vs. Yankees on Sportsnet and stream on Sportsnet+. https://t.co/Tc1VGUtnXS
Yusei Kikuchi is absolutely throwing that thing. 96 high to get Judge and strike out the side. #BlueJays https://t.co/mEhEDxogvE
Tremendous start to the evening for Yusei Kikuchi - strikes out Volpe, Soto and Judge in top1. Now #Bluejays get to deal with Carlos Rodon as they look for a 4th straight win and climb to within 2 games of #Yankees in a division in which I was told they were hopelessly behind.

We are underway here at Rogers Centre, and Chris Bassitt just took out the very tough top of #Yankees lineup in order on 11 pitches. Now #Bluejays - whose top of the order has not been all that very tough - get to face Luis Gil.

"I still felt like I had good stuff. That's why the swing and miss was there, the strikes were there but obviously the hits are frustrating." The stuff was back for Kevin Gausman, but the results were not as Blue Jays get thumped by Rockies: https://t.co/njvIe1n9MT

Kevin Gausman felt he got away from his fastball, and when he leaned on his splitter and slider, there was too much "medium speed." “Nothing good happened today. Just a lot of pitches, a lot of hits, a lot of doubles and a lot of runs. Not many positives.” #BlueJays
Kevin Gausman's first three starts for the #BlueJays: 9.1 IP 16 H 12 ER (11.57 ERA) 10 K | 2 BB
Kevin Gausman tonight against the Rockies: 3.2 IP • 6 ER, 10 H, 0 BB, 4 K All of the contact was hard. Six balls were hit 100+ mph and a couple of others were right on the line. Rockies were right on everything. #BlueJays
The Rockies are really on top of Kevin Gausman's stuff right now. A lot of hard contact. #BlueJays
Kevin Gausman opens up with 94 right down the middle. Good sign. #BlueJays
