Blue Jays start surge again as Kevin Gausman blanks Yanks in Bronx

Three days before Montoyo was fired, the Jays trailed him 16.5 games to the Yankees, but suddenly that margin was his eight. rice field. During a month that was tumultuous in many ways, Schneider was indoctrinated by management about the capricious nature of the sport.

"When you're funking a little bit, everybody tries to go a little too far." Schneider said. "When things are going well, you're not thinking about all the things that could go wrong, you're thinking about all the things that are going well."

Many things are going well these days.

For the third game in a row, the Jays have had a brilliant start.

It was the third time in four starts that Gaussmann disallowed a run.

"He was dialed in and basically mean," Schneider said of his right-handed ace. "It was a difficult line-up to navigate and he was efficient, precise and on point."

The offense worked well enough, even with George Springer out of the lineup after the drop. This big blowout in his four-game winning streak in his series came from Teoscar Hernandez hitting his two-run home run off his 421-footer.

"For us, it's really exciting when you play against a good team," said Hernandez, who hit his 18th home run of the season. "Then we can show what we have."

Still on a modest winning streak at this point, but making his 23rd start of the season. It has the potential to send a message, as Gaussmann remarked rather acrimoniously the day before.

"If we can come here and really beat them, I think we can definitely make a statement," he said, Gausman.

With his two games left, there is still work to be done, but thanks to the spirited Yankees, the Jays can easily do it.

Clearly, the Jays are currently trying to make the most of what's going on between the two teams in the coming days.

"I think you see [confidence] now," said Schneider following Friday's victory.

“Baseball is so much fun.
