#Bluejays hang on for a 6-3 win in DC, the second time in five games they've scored six (though four of them were handed to them by #Nationals in the first inning). Huge outing by Gausman, massive add-on 2-run shot by Kiermaier in top8. Manoah in the rubber match tomorrow.
Phenomenal job by #Bluejays Kevin Gausman for the fourth straight start. Leaves with a 4-0 lead, runner on first and one out in bot6. He struck out a season-high eight and allowed just three hits, all singles. Check out the latest episode of Deep Left Field to hear from him!
