Blue Jays<\/a> 3 Braves 4<\/p>\n

That wasn\u2019t Kevin Gausman<\/a>\u2019s best game. 6 innings, 5 hits, 4 earned, 2 walks, 8 strikeouts and a home run. Of course, when you get 18 outs and 8 of them are strikeouts, it seems like it should be a good game. But, he gave up 2 in the first (a walk, a double and a sac fly), 1 in the third (double and a single) and 1 in the sixth (a Matt Olson<\/a> home run).<\/p>\n

Our bullpen put up two scoreless innings.<\/p>\n

On offense, we had 9 hits, with a Kazuma Okamoto<\/a> two-run home run and a Vladimir Guerrero double. You would think we could have scored more than 3 runs.<\/p>\n

We got two hits each from Nathan Lukes<\/a>, Ernie Clement<\/a>, Yohendrick Pi\u00f1ango and Okamoto. But then there were 0 fors from George Springer<\/a>, Daulton Varsho, Andr\u00e9s Gim\u00e9nez<\/a> and Brandon Valenzuela. Being 0 for 6 with RISP is a recipe for a loss.<\/p>\n

Jays of the Day: Okamoto (0.31 WPA), and Lukes (0.12).<\/p>\n

The Other Award: Gim\u00e9nez (-0.23). Gausman (-0.19), Jes\u00fas S\u00e1nchez (-0.14, all for a ninth inning out to end the game), Springer (-0.12), Pi\u00f1ango (-0.12), and Valenzuela (-0.10).<\/p>\n

Tomorrow we have Patrick Corbin<\/a> (2-1, 3.65) going against Grant Holmes<\/a> (3-2, 3.95).<\/p>\n

I did have a nice evening, with three beers and nice conversation. All it needed was a win.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Blue Jays 3 Braves 4 That wasn\u2019t Kevin Gausman\u2019s best game. 6 innings, 5 hits, 4 earned, 2…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":681195,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[65],"tags":[142067,2111,18619,92894,53348,52755,370,33292,133757,377,146321,9885,29504,363,380,101535,99,364],"class_list":["post-681194","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-andres-gimenez","tag-atlanta-braves","tag-blue-jays","tag-daulton-varsho","tag-eighth-inning","tag-ernie-clement","tag-george-springer","tag-grant-holmes","tag-kazuma-okamoto","tag-kevin-gausman","tag-mandatory-credit","tag-matt-olson","tag-michael-harris-ii","tag-mlb","tag-nathan-lukes","tag-patrick-corbin","tag-sports","tag-toronto-blue-jays"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/681194","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=681194"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/681194\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/681195"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=681194"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=681194"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=681194"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
