The story of the season so far for Toronto has been injuries, but the club has also simply been unlucky. For example, MLB analyst Chris Black<\/a> shared on X that Toronto actually has two of the only three hurlers in big league history to begin a season with 30-plus strikeouts and a sub-2.50 ERA, but zero wins across their first four starts. <\/p>\n Kevin Gausman, Dylan Cease On The Wrong Side Of MLB History Apr 12, 2026; Toronto, Ontario, CAN; Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Dylan Cease (84) in the dug out before the start of a game against the Minnesota Twins at Rogers Centre.

Sokolowski-Imagn Images<\/p>\n “Only 3 pitchers in MLB history have begun a season over their first 4 starts with: 30+ strikeouts, sub 2.50 ERA, 0 wins,” Black wrote. “2 of the 3 are 2026 Toronto Blue Jays: Kevin Gausman (0-1, 2.42, 31 K), Dylan Cease (0-0, 1.74, 32 K).”<\/p>\n Now, that’s certainly not the list you want to be on in Major League Baseball history. It just goes to show how unlucky a team the Blue Jays have been. Kevin Gausman<\/a> has a 2.42 ERA across 22 1\/3 innings pitched with 31 strikeouts. Dylan Cease has a 1.74 ERA across 20 2\/3 innings pitched with 32 strikeouts. That’s ace-level stuff. While this is the case, neither has earned a win so far this season. <\/p>\n Baseball certainly can be weird sometimes. While neither Cease nor Gausman has earned a win this season, Milwaukee Brewers reliever Aaron Ashby is tied<\/a> with Los Angeles Angels starter Jose Soriano for the most wins in baseball with five apiece.<\/p>\n Ashby has a 3.21 ERA in 11 appearances out of the Brewers’ bullpen and has five wins in just 14 innings of work. Eric Lauer of the Blue Jays is leading the league with three losses and has a 7.13 ERA in 17 2\/3 innings pitched, but even he has earned a win this season. But Gausman and Cease have not. This is the type of stat baseball fans should see. It just goes to show how great \u2014\u00a0and weird \u2014 the game can be at points.<\/p>\n![\"Toronto](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/01kpkhdq9zc60cg7hwqq.jpg\" "\\"Toronto")
