"Max Scherzer struggled from the get go, with the Jays finally getting out of the top of the first down 5-0. They got close to tying it a handful of times, but ultimately fell 8-6."
"Kazuma Okamoto went deep for the fourth time this season, as he has seemingly adapted to big league pitching. Jesús Sánchez hit his third home run of the season and looks to be the team's cleanup hitter for the foreseeable future."
"Kevin Gausman is off to a terrific start in 2026, authoring a 2.54 ERA and 2.21 FIP in 28.1 innings pitched, with a 31 K% and 5.3 BB%."
"Joey Cantillo will make the start. This is the 26-year-old's third season in the big leagues, and his first season as a full-time starter."
The Blue Jays faced the Cleveland Guardians after a tough series against the Angels, losing 8-6 in the opener. Max Scherzer's poor performance contributed to the loss, despite the Jays' offensive efforts, including two home runs from Kazuma Okamoto and Jesús Sánchez. Kevin Gausman, the team's ace, has been performing well this season with a 2.54 ERA. The Guardians' Joey Cantillo is making his third season start, having shown promise in previous appearances.
