Kevin Gausman twirled seven aciculate innings and the Toronto Blue Jays shut out the inexplicably horrid New York Yankees, taming the AL East leaders 4-0 on Friday at Yankee Stadium.
The Yankees didn’t get a runner beyond 120FT away, as. as they lost for the 14th time in 18 games. The. Bombers have been shut out three times in the last six games and five times in the last 13 after and being shut out just six times in their first 107 games. Gausman allowed four hits in seven innings, striking out seven with one walk(To Judge).
It was the third scoreless effort in four starts for Gausman (9-9 2.99ERA), a span in which he has a 1.75 ERA. Gausman induced Isiah Kiner-Falafa to hit into a double play in between fifth-inning singles by Gleyber Torres and Oswaldo Cabrera, who's nice leaping grab was the lone Yankee highlight, and struck out Donaldson to strand Anthony Rizzo following a two-out single in the sixth.
Lourdes Gurriel Jr. had an RBI groundout in the third before Alejandro Kirk led off the fourth by singling against Jameson Taillon (11-4, 4.00 ERA). Teoscar Hernandez followed with a long homer to left-center. JAMO served up just six homers in his first 12 starts. Taillon allowed six hits and walked none with five strikeouts over five-plus innings. He has a 5.35 ERA since carrying a perfect game into the eighth inning against the Angels on June 2.
