Kevin Gausman made a promising start this spring, pitching 1 2/3 innings while striking out two and allowing no hits in the Toronto Blue Jays' 7-6 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates. Gausman, who finished the previous season with a 14-11 record and a 3.83 ERA, looks to build on that momentum as he enters his fourth year with the Jays. Although Toronto mounted a late comeback with back-to-back homers from Arjun Nimmala and Alan Roden, it fell short. The Pirates took an early lead, aided by Oneil Cruz's three-run shot and Joey Bart's solo homer.
