In a crucial game against the Texas Rangers, Kevin Gausman was removed after five no-hit innings due to lower back tightness, raising concerns about his health as the Toronto Blue Jays avoided a series sweep with a 4-0 victory. Gausman struck out six batters and allowed only one walk while throwing 58 pitches, but discomfort was evident early in the game. Following Gausman's departure, Dillon Tate made his debut and maintained the shutout, with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. contributing significantly by hitting two solo home runs, bringing his season total to 30. This win is particularly important as it keeps the Blue Jays' slim postseason hopes alive, while the Rangers were officially eliminated from the AL West race. The severity of Gausman's back injury is still unclear, prompting speculation about whether he will pitch again this season. The Toronto pitching staff combined for a two-hit performance against Texas, further emphasizing their dominance during the game.
