Danny Jansen homered for the third time in two games for Toronto’s only runs, backing up six innings by Gausman to win his fourth consecutive decision, as the Blue Jays beat the slumping AL West-leading Texas Rangers 2-1.
ARLINGTON, TEXAS - JUNE 16: Kevin Gausman #34 of the Toronto Blue Jays pitches to Travis Jankowski #16 of the Texas Rangers during the second inning at Globe Life Field on June 16, 2023 in Arlington, Texas.
"His swing is on point," manager John Schneider said. "He’s in his career really, where he’s just comfortable with it, and he’s always been a really good fastball hitter. You don’t really need that much of a tune up coming off the IL when you can be on top of the heater."Gausman struck out four to increase his AL-high total to 121 while allowing one run and four hits over six innings. The right-hander is 4-0 in his last eight starts.
Leody Taveras homered leading off the third for the Rangers , who lost for the seventh time in nine games. It was the No. 9 hitter’s seventh homer this season, all in 39 games since the start of May.After going 9-for-49 with runners in scoring position while losing three of four in their series against the Los Angeles Angels, the Rangers were 0-for-9 in that situation against Toronto.
"That’s the story of the game, we just couldn’t get a hit with a runner in scoring position," Texas manager Brue Bochy said. "We’re just going through a very tough patch. ... But I don’t think they’re doing anything different. Could they be pressing a little bit? Maybe, because they care. They want to win."Pérez has already allowed 12 homers in his 14 starts. There were only 11 long balls off him in 32 starts last season when he was a first-time All-Star.
Rangers: RHP Jon Gray is expected to start the series finale Sunday. He was skipped in his last scheduled turn in the rotation Tuesday because of a blister. He is 5-1 with a 0.84 ERA in his last six starts, including 12 strikeouts in a 100-pitch complete game when losing 1-0 to St. Louis on June 7.Texas 2B Marcus Semien had a couple of standout defensive plays.
