Brewers vs. Blue Jays Game Highlights (6/1/23) | MLB Highlights

Another beautiful afternoon. What a day for school day or kids day or whatever you want to call it here with the ballpark. We are told of the forty one thousand people here today. Twenty four thousand of them are various school groups from around the GTA. It's going to be quite a vibe here especially if Kevin Gossman is on top of his game as the Blue Jays look to win a series. Gossman in eleven starts this season now three and three that era just over three. Christian Yelich is in the box liner to left to base hit. Got to that ninety five mile an hour fastball did Yelich. So the leadoff man is aboard Yelich twelve for twelve in stealing bases this year. Gossman at times has been susceptible not going here and a swing and a miss. He got him for the first out of the afternoon. So one out. And now here's Rowdy Tullis. He's taken off. Here's the throw the tag and they got him. He got some help and he came out of there very quickly. Quick exchange and more importantly than anything the accurate throw. Boy I mean that throw had to be right there or they wouldn't have gotten him first time that Yelich has been cut. Got it. Swing and a miss to get Tullis to a couple of strikeouts and a nice throw by Heineman as well. A good time of the first for Kevin Gossman starting pitcher stats for Freddy Peralta. He's been good. Ten starts six quality start still waiting to get that big game wasting no time right here pitching a contact ground ball to short one pitch one out. I think if you're Freddy Peralta you will take that every day. And here is Bo Bichette and the Brewers have held Bo in check which not very many teams have been able to do this year. Bo is one for nine in the series. Here to center. It's well on the season for Bo Bichette and it is one and nothing Blue Jays. You can only hold him down so long and you just said it Dan Milwaukee's done a nice job with Bo in this series but he is just that good. Now a five game hitting streak for Varshon and there's one on one and two away for Matt Chapman. Down the right Anderson in his opposite field to run homer for Matt Chapman. And talking to Chapman just this morning about this topic he said yeah I just got to flatten it out at the top of the zone a little bit more if they're going to be pitching it up there and it's in the zone. I need to be better. I need to make that adjustment. And I think he just looked inside and draws the walk. That's the first walk issued by the Brewers pitching staff since the eighth inning of game number one. He's Kevin Kiermaier foul tipped into the glove of Contreras on the curveball Peralta picks up a strikeout Blue Jays get three William Contreras Brian Anderson and Andrew Monasterio coming to the plate tipped off into the glove and held by Heineman third strikeout for Gaussman this afternoon. Ninety eight and a swing and a foul tip to strikeout Anderson. That is four strikeouts in a row for Gaussman fly ball right center Kiermaier along just when you think you've seen it all Kevin Kiermaier shows you something else. Again we have a pretty good vantage point from here and I did not think Kiermaier is getting to this one but wouldn't you know it. Another spectacular Graham Tyler Heineman leads off the bottom of the second. There's a fair ball off the bat of Tyler and he's thinking two and it's overrun by Anderson and it's Tyler Heineman's world right now. We're just living in and there's two outs. Here's Vlad Guerrero Junior Guerrero out towards left center Joey Weimer shielding his eyes makes the catch and the inning is over. Freddy Peralta does a nice job navigating around the leadoff double. Roddy Tellez leading off the fourth but lay off this one and that strikeout number seven for Kevin Gaussman to close pitches to Contreras. Now he has to be almost in swing mode. So Kevin's got him right where he wants him. See if he goes to the splitter even though it's three and two. He did. They appeal and he went to use that bad again. Kevin Gaussman has struck out two in each of the first four innings of this game. So he cracked the bat on the ground and then he finished it off over his head. Here's Brian Anderson who lines the first pitch that he sees in the center field for a two out base hit. Here Meyer at this one much more routine. Brewers are set down at the top of the four. There's Tyrone Taylor shallow right center field and Kiermaier has got another one. Boy that must be fun. It must be fun to be able to do things like that. It's like being a kid in the schoolyard again. That's easy for him. That's nothing coming in and sliding. That's a can of corn for Kiermaier routine liner in the left center Owen Miller puts another good swing on the ball rowdy a couple of strikeouts today and a fastball down in the zone freezes him. Strikeout number nine for Gaussman William Contreras obviously with a new bat and he got him strikes out Contreras for the third time today. Ten strikeouts on the afternoon now for Kevin Gaussman. And that's the fifth time he's done that this year. Joe that's tops of the majors runner goes and a stolen base for Owen Miller. And a swing and a miss and a little pump with a fist from his catcher as well as Gaussman picks up strikeout number 11. Peralta has been great after that rocky first inning. He's been outstanding for the Brewers. Ground ball to first Tillis has it steps on the bag and Freddy Peralta does a nice job quality start for Freddy as we go to the seven three nothing Toronto and back out for the seven six seven and eight Monasterio to Rangin and Taylor Swanson up in the pen. I guess the only question is how many pitches will John Schneider let him throw today's up to one hundred and seven and number one oh eight is lined in the center for a base hit. Once Gaussman throws his one hundred and fifteen pitch the two highest pitch totals by any pitcher in baseball this year will be Kevin Gaussman down to first Bisho. There's one Bichette. Nice play at the first base bag by Kevin Bichot you see that he's ready right there scoops it up. Don't look at the runner he stopped get the ball to second base get that lead runner and he has taken the ball from Kevin Gaussman. So just a masterful performance by Gaussman today and a well deserved standing ovation from this sellout crowd here for the Rogers Center this afternoon. Bottom of the eighth inning three nothing Blue Jays right hander Elvis Piguero is into the game for the Brewers Vladimir Guerrero Junior shoots one into right field for a base hit. It has to feel good for Vlade before they head out of town here. Don't Varshall one out of three the single in the first should be double play ball. There's one and two Taylor made well two pitches a single and a double play ball. One thing that Vlade will do more of when he's D.H. because he's got more time to kill. He'll play to the camera just a little bit. Bases loaded two down Kevin Kiermaier the batter Kiermaier strikes out as the Blue Jays leave the bases loaded. So it is on to the ninth inning the Blue Jays with a three to nothing lead a same situation upcoming for Jordan Romano as he makes his way onto the field. Rowdy has had a tough day at the plate for three three strikeouts Cracksman into right center field Springer is on the move Kiermaier to and it will be dropped by Kiermaier. It's still on the warning track to Lez around second. He's headed for third and he will be standing there with a leadoff triple some indecisiveness there from Kevin Kiermaier as Springer was on the move trying to make the play rowdy to Lez with a leadoff triple against Romano and just like that the tying run is coming up. So a triple a free pass and now it's Brian Anderson and Anderson grounds one toward short. They get one they get to. Tell us comes down the line to score to make it a three one ballgame. So two down in the bases empty runs from Bichette and Chapman a great outing from Kevin Gossman and the Blue Jays head to New York on a winning note.
