Kevin Gausman threw eight innings of two-hit ball. Alejandro Kirk and Nathan Lukes drove in two runs apiece, and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Cleveland Guardians 6–0 on Thursday to win the three-game series.
Gausman (6–6) gave up one walk on 104 pitches with six strikeouts, and reliever Chad Green finished the Guardians' fifth shutout of the season. Addison Barger led off the ninth with a single. Ernie Clement and Jonatan Clase each drew a walk to load the bases with one out, and pinch-hitter Kirk's single scored Barger and Clement. Clase scored on a throwing error by left fielder Steven Kwan – one of four by Cleveland.
Kwan hit into a double play in the first for the Guardians, whose only other hit was a single by Kyle Manzardo in the fourth. Tanner Bibee (4–8) gave up three hits and two runs in six innings. José Ramírez hit a walk-off RBI single in the 10th inning on Wednesday to lift Cleveland to a 5–4 win after George Springer's grand slam gave Toronto a 10–6 victory on Tuesday.
Clase led off the third with a single. Tyler Heineman was hit by a pitch, and Myles Straw laid down a sacrifice bunt and reached on a fielding error by Manzardo to load the bases with no outs. Lukes followed with a two-run single, and Straw scored on another error by Manzardo, who bobbled a pickoff attempt to give the Blue Jays a 3–0 lead.
Manzardo committed three errors, and Bibee threw two wild pitches in Toronto's three-run third inning.
Toronto's José Berríos (3–3, 3.51 ERA) takes the mound against Boston's Brayan Bello (3–3, 3.21) on Friday, and Cleveland's Luis L. Ortiz (4–8, 4.30) pitches against St. Louis right-hander Sonny Gray (7–2, 3.72).
