TORONTO (AP) — Kevin Gausman pitched seven solid innings for his first victory of the season, and the Toronto Blue Jays stopped the Los Angeles Dodgers’ six-game win streak with a 3-1 victory on Sunday.
Alejandro Kirk went 3 for 3 for Toronto, hitting his first homer of the season in the second. He was mired in an 0-for-11 slide coming into the day.
The Blue Jays had lost a season-high five straight games.
“To not get swept is huge,” Gausman said.
Dodgers slugger Shohei Ohtani hit a deep drive to center field in his first at-bat against Gausman, but Toronto’s Daulton Varsho made a leaping catch on the warning track before slamming into the fence.
Blue Jays right fielder George Springer made a sensational diving catch on Andy Pages’ liner for the first out of the ninth.
“We kind of played with our hair on fire today,” Gausman said.
Freddie Freeman hit a solo homer for the Dodgers, his second, but Los Angeles couldn’t complete back-to-back sweeps. The NL West leaders won three straight at Washington last week before crossing the border into Canada.
