Gausman’s Splitter Eludes Him, but Not Hitters
- On Thursday afternoon, 34-year-old Kevin Gausman gave up six runs in a 8-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays in Toronto.
- Gausman struggled with inconsistency in his splitter, the key pitch that sets up his four-seam fastball, which he said varies each start.
- Despite allowing three home runs and raising his earned-run average from 3.97 to 4.59, Toronto manager John Schneider said Gausman had "really good stuff".
- Jose Urena, a recently acquired right-handed pitcher who signed a one-year major-league contract on May 5, pitched one inning and gave up a two-run homer.
- Toronto is scheduled to face Detroit on Saturday with Urena confirmed by Schneider to start, while Gausman continues to work on regaining splitter consistency.
