Kevin Gausman experienced a tumultuous week, initially struggling against the Arizona Diamondbacks by allowing seven runs, inflating his ERA to 7.65. Yet, he bounced back spectacularly in Cleveland, delivering eight shutout innings against the Guardians, leading the Blue Jays to a 6-0 victory.

In his dominant performance, Gausman allowed only two hits and struck out six batters, demonstrating the resilience of a seasoned pitcher. The incident of his retaliation against José Ramírez after a hit on Vladimir Guerrero Jr. highlighted the competitive nature of the game.
