The Blue Jays take on the Colorado Rockies tonight and will have Kevin Gausman on the mound who hopes to bounce back after his worst start as a Blue jay.

In Gausman's last game, he only pitched for 1.1 innings allowing 6 runs on 4 hits and giving up 2 walks. He was not able to strike out a single batter while giving up 2 home runs as well.

Kevin Gausman will look to rebound from arguably his worst outing as a Blue Jay his last time out. In just 1.1 innings, he allowed 6 runs (5 earned) on 4 hits and 2 walks. He didn't strike out a single batter for just the fourth start in his career, and he also gave up 2 home runs. His velocity was down to 91.4 mph after averaging over 94.5 the last few years. An early encouraging sign from this start would be if the velocity is back up, and hopefully he puts together a strong outing.

As the Rockies take on the worst team is baseball, Gausman will hopefully be able to have a solid game a regain some confidence.

If the Blue Jays are able to pull off a win tonight, they will have a 7-7 record on the season giving them a .500 win percentage for the first time this season.
