Kevin Gausman made history, setting a Blue Jays Opening Day record with 11 strikeouts in his season debut. The 35-year-old pitched six shutout innings, allowing just one run on a solo home run and not issuing a single walk.
Gausman was dominant, reaching the record in the fifth when he struck out Max Muncy. His impressive performance helped the Blue Jays take an early lead in the series against the Athletics.
Gausman tossed five shutouts last season, one complete game, and he's already got another one to his name. The Colorado native, who's been the Blue Jays' ace since 2022, is off to a blazing start.
Gausman ended 2025 with a solid 3.59 ERA, 189 strikeouts in 193 innings, allowing 155 hits and 50 walks. Since 2020, he's been a workhorse, pitching five straight full seasons with 31+ starts each, completely healthy.
The two-time All-Star is on a mission to lead the Blue Jays back to the World Series, looking to avenge their heartbreaking seven-game loss to the Dodgers last season.
