This was likely the result of frustration boiling over for the 34-year-old. In 2.2 innings against the Yankees, Gausman allowed six runs to score while walking five batters. This outing increased his season ERA from a dominant 3.16 to a mediocre 4.50 on the season.

It came to the fore in their 11-2 win over the Blue Jays in Game 1 of Sunday afternoon’s doubleheader at Yankee Stadium. The 5-through-9 batters in the lineup — Jazz Chisholm Jr., Anthony Volpe, Austin Wells, Jasson Dominguez and Oswaldo Cabrera — went a combined 8-for-18 with nine RBIs and six runs scored.

Aaron Judge broke a sixth-inning tie in the second game with his eighth home run this season, and the New York Yankees swept a doubleheader from the Toronto Blue Jays 11-2 and 5-1.
