"He had been waiting his whole life for this moment. 34-year-old Kevin Gausman had dreams of pitching in a World Series game for as long as he can remember. The Toronto Blue Jays right hander finally got his chance to do that on Saturday night in Game 2 of the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers."
"He went 5.1 innings, struck out seven batters and had allowed two earned runs. He was removed in the top of the sixth with the Giants down 2-1 and had two runners on base. Dominic Leone came in and promptly allowed those runs to score, putting two more earned runs on Gausmans pitching line, in a game the Dodgers would win 9-2."
Kevin Gausman, 34, made his World Series debut in Game 2 for the Toronto Blue Jays and pitched exceptionally through almost seven innings. The Blue Jays provided little offensive support, and Toronto lost 5-1, leaving the series even at 1-1 with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Gausman was originally drafted by the Dodgers in the sixth round of the 2010 draft but did not sign, then was selected by the Orioles in the first round two years later and debuted in 2013. He emerged as a difference maker at age 29 after signing with the San Francisco Giants and carried postseason memories from matchups with the Dodgers into 2025.
