Gausman (5-6) allowed seven runs (five earned) on seven hits and one walk while striking out three across 2.1 innings to take the loss Thursday against the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Gausman kept the ball in the yard but allowed five of the first six batters he faced in the third inning to reach base, derailing his appearance. It was the second time in three starts that he's failed to work at least four innings, and he's surrendered nine earned runs across 12 frames in that span. Despite that recent stretch, Gausman still owns a 3.21 ERA and 1.26 WHIP across 13 starts this season.

Gausman (5-5) took the loss against the Tigers on Saturday, allowing two runs (one earned) on six hits while striking out four and walking three over six innings.
EDGE Analysis
Gausman pitched well enough to earn the win Saturday, picking up a quality start, but did not get enough run support from his offense and ended up with the loss. The righty allowed more than one walk in a game for just the second time this season. Gausman allowed just one earned run in the game and lowered his ERA to 2.67. The veteran has been dominant for the Jays this season despite recording as many wins as losses.

Gausman (5-3) picked up the win Tuesday, giving up three runs on six hits and a walk over five innings in a 6-5 victory over the White Sox. He struck out five.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander left the game after 98 pitches (67 strikes with the Blue Jays down 3-2, but a four-run rally in the bottom of the fifth put Gausman back in the win column. He's proving his 2021 breakout with San Francisco was no fluke, posting a 2.51 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 70:6 K:BB through 61 innings this season.

Gausman (4-3) picked up the win in Tuesday's 8-1 victory over the Cardinals, scattering four hits and two walks over six scoreless innings. He struck out eight.
EDGE Analysis
After uncharacteristically issuing two free passes in the first inning, Gausman knuckled down and pounded the zone, firing 74 of 105 pitches for strikes before exiting, and St. Louis never got a runner past second base. The right-hander has been worth every penny for the Blue Jays so far after signing a $110 million deal in the offseason, providing six quality starts in nine trips to the mound with a 2.25 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 65:5 K:BB through his first 56 innings with Toronto.

Gausman (3-3) took the loss against Seattle on Wednesday, pitching five innings and allowing two runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out three batters.
EDGE Analysis
Gausman didn't have his usual swing-and-miss stuff against the Mariners in the outing, as he notched a season-low three strikeouts and registered only seven swinging strikes. However, he limited Seattle to two runs and allowed just one extra-base hit -- a fifth-inning homer by Cal Raleigh that was the deciding factor in tagging Gausman with the loss. The right-hander will carry a 2.52 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 57:3 K:BB into his next start, which is slated to come in St. Louis next week.

Gausman (3-2) took the loss Friday as the Blue Jays were downed 5-2 by the Rays, giving up four runs (three earned) on five hits and a walk over seven-plus innings. He struck out eight.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran right-hander headed into the eighth inning with the score tied 2-2, but manager Charlie Montoyo's decision to try and squeeze a few more outs from Gausman backfired when Gausman gave up three straight hits to start the frame. He still wound up recording his fifth straight quality start, and Gausman will take a 2.40 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and stunning 54:2 K:BB through 45 innings into his next outing.

Gausman (3-1) picked up the win in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Guardians, allowing one run on six hits and a walk over 6.1 innings. He struck out five.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander fired 69 of 104 pitches for strikes in delivering his fourth straight quality start and winning his third straight decision. About the only blemish on Gausman's line was a fourth-inning free pass to Franmil Reyes that was not only his first of the season, it marked the first time he'd gone to a 3-0 count against a batter. Gausman is proving that his 2021 breakout was no fluke, posting a 2.13 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and career-best 33.6 percent strikeout rate through 38 innings.

Gausman and the Blue Jays won't play Friday against the Guardians after the game was postponed due to inclement weather.
EDGE Analysis
Since Friday's game will be made up as part of a doubleheader Saturday, Gausman will start in the matinee while Ross Stripling takes the mound in the second game, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports. The right-hander is off to a hot start in 2022, as he has a 2.27 ERA and 0.98 WHIP with 41 strikeouts and no walks in 31.2 innings over his first five starts.
