Toronto Blue Jays ace walked three of the first seven Minnesota Twins batters he faced on Tuesday afternoon.
In fact, perhaps there’s even more to it than that as the American League Central champs continue to outfox the Toronto ace..Gausman was chased early by the Twins in Tuesday’s opener of a best-of-three wildcard series game at Target Field in Minneapolis, leading to suggestions that the Jays ace was tipping his pitches.
“Some of their guys just laid off some really good that I was just flabbergasted that they didn’t swing at,” Gausman said after a start in June of 2022 when he lasted just four innings in an 8-6 loss to the Twins. Working on the ESPN broadcast in the U.S., analyst and former big league star Alex Rodriguez suggested that Gausman was once again tipping his pitches.Whether that was the case or not, the Twins have always had a patient approach against Gausman and Tuesday was no different. The lanky right-hander threw 27 pitches in the first inning and had ran his pitch count up to 60 after three innings.
