Two homers aside, Gausman sharp but outduelled by red-hot Cubs rookie
Hits and runs were sparse on Wednesday night at the Rogers Centre, in what turned out to be a very good game between the Blue Jays and the visiting Chicago Cubs. Article content Kevin Gausman and rookie Cade Horton engaged in a taut pitchers duel that the Cubs would prevail in, 4-1, counter-punching after the Jays took the series opener of this highly anticipated three-game set on Tuesday. Article content Article content The Jays' bats were silenced by Horton and failed to manufacture any threat. When only two hits are produced, while an opponent hits two solo homers, the margin gets pretty thin. Article content In their final at-bats, against Cubs closer Daniel Palencia, the Jays went quietly into the night, deserving of their fate as their record dropped to 70-51. Article content The following are three takeaways on a night when the Jays outdrew their season-high attendance from Tuesday night by attracting 43,120, witnessed an ugly injury when Cubs catcher Miguel Amaya tumbled over first base and was carted off the field; and maintained their 4.5-game lead in the AL East as the second-place Red Sox also lost. Article content TWO MISTAKES COSTLY Article content There wasn't much to find fault with in Gausman's performance as he provided his team with a quality outing — seven complete innings of three-hit ball. Article content The only problem was that two of those three hits left the yard as Michael Busch and Matt Shaw tagged him for solo home runs in the third and fifth innings, respectively. He also managed just three strikeouts. Article content Article content The one thing about Gausman is he will battle and his outing against the Cubs was no exception. He pitched into the seventh inning in a 2-1 game and looked as locked in as he did in the first. Article content First time through the order and Horton was well-deserving of an A-plus rating. Article content He entered the night having pitched a Cubs rookie record 23.2 scoreless innings, a stretch in which he surrendered just 10 hits. Article content In facing the order for the first time, Horton struck out five, while inducing four groundouts as his compact windup and delivery may have been difficult to pick up at first view. Article content The Jays finally had their first base-runner when Horton walked Bichette with one out in the fourth inning. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. then tagged him for a long fly ball to left that was caught at the warning track. Horton then struck out Addison Barger for the third out. Article content Horton's no-hit bid ended on an 0-2 count in the sixth inning when Andres Gimenez sent a ball up the middle for a one-out single.

Cubs' aggressiveness pays off in 4-1 win over Jays
See more sharing options Send this page to someone via email Share this item on Twitter Share this item via WhatsApp Share this item on Facebook TORONTO – The Chicago Cubs had a clear game plan against Blue Jays starter Kevin Gausman on Wednesday night. Attack his fastball early and often. The aggressiveness paid off as Michael Busch and Matt Shaw hit solo homers in a 4-1 victory over Toronto in front of a sellout crowd of 43,120 at Rogers Centre. Gausman (8-9) was tagged with the loss despite allowing just three hits and two earned runs over seven innings. 'They were not hesitating on his heater,' said Blue Jays manager John Schneider. Busch turned on a 3-1 offering in the third inning for his 23rd homer of the year and Shaw followed two frames later with his 10th of the season. 'I could kind of tell after the first (inning) that they were going to come out swinging,' Gausman said. 'Obviously I think the two homers were the difference.'

'You can go into a game thinking they're going to be aggressive, but I mean that was pretty crazy,' Gausman said. Chicago rookie starter Cade Horton (7-3), meanwhile, was dominant as he held the Blue Jays (70-51) without a hit until Andres Gimenez singled with one out in the sixth inning. The right-hander retired the first 10 Blue Jays in order before walking Bo Bichette in the fourth. Horton was pulled after issuing a two-out walk to Bichette in the sixth. Reliever Andrew Kittredge gave up an RBI double to Vladimir Guerrero Jr. before retiring Addison Barger on a flyout. Story continues below advertisement Chicago catcher Miguel Amaya was taken off the field on a cart in the eighth inning. He suffered a sprained left ankle as he lunged for first base while beating out an infield single. 'You knew something was pretty seriously wrong pretty quickly,' Cubs manager Craig Counsell said. Counsell added that X-rays did not reveal a fracture. 'It's swollen up pretty good already,' he said. 'It's an IL (stint). It's bad luck, unfortunately, and we're going to miss him.' Amaya was reinstated from the injury list on Tuesday after being sidelined since May 25 because of a left oblique strain. The Cubs (68-51) tacked on two insurance runs in the eighth and Daniel Palencia worked a clean ninth inning for his 16th save. Chicago outhit Toronto 6-2. The Blue Jays' 4 1/2-game lead atop the American League East division standings remained intact after the second-place Boston Red Sox dropped a 4-1 decision to the Houston Astros. The Cubs and Blue Jays will play the rubber game of their three-game interleague series on Thursday afternoon. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 13, 2025.
