The Blue Jays tabbed right-hander Kevin Gausman (2-1, 2.00 ERA postseason) to start Game 2. He is 2-3 with a 3.57 ERA in nine career regular-season games (eight starts) against the Dodgers. In three postseason starts vs. Los Angeles, Gausman is 0-1 with a 6.75 ERA.

This is part of what makes Gausman great, though. He’s earned his Game 2 start in the World Series, and would have fit just fine in Game 1, too, but the Blue Jays wanted to give the veteran an extra day of rest while keeping rookie sensation Trey Yesavage on schedule.

Kevin Gausman and Paul Gervase are each seeking to become the 19th former LSU Tiger to earn a World Series ring. All of the World Series games will be televised by FOX.

For the first time in his life, Freddie Freeman will play meaningful baseball games in the same homeland as both of his parents.

Just hours before the first pitch in ALCS Game 6, Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Kevin Gausman tweeted something out of the blue to increase the hype.
