Blue Jays Stick Cubs with 4-2 Loss
Toronto right-hander Kevin Gausman pitched his team to victory over the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field. The final score was 4-2. The winning pitcher was Gausman, now 6-8. He tossed 7 innings of 5-hit ball, while walking 1 and fanning 4. The save went to Zebulon Vermillion, his 6th this season.

Toronto took a 3-1 lead on Santiago Espinal's 3rd triple of the season. The 2-run triple, which Espinal hit in the top of the seventh, left Chicago pitcher Justin Steele shaking his head.

Postgame, Blue Jays manager Larry Paullin complimented Gausman. "No question about it. Gausy was terrific."

The last-place Blue Jays sport a record of 55-70.
