Gausman's Tropicana Demon: Can Jays Flip Series?

About this episode

The Toronto Blue Jays face a challenging series at Tropicana Field against the Rays, with Kevin Gausman aiming to overcome his struggles there.

Toronto Blue Jays face a tough challenge at Tropicana Field, with a dismal win percentage since 2016. Theyve dropped two straight, including the series opener against the Rays. Manager John Schneider attributes their struggles to poor play, not the stadium. Kevin Gausman, their stopper, has a 3.10 ERA but has been hit hard by the Rays since joining Toronto in 2022. He faces Rays pitcher Drew Rasmussen, who has dominated the Jays with a 2.65 ERA. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. could spark a turnaround, owning Rasmussen.
