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.

Kevin Gausman was ejected by plate umpire Chris Conroy as the Toronto Blue Jays pitcher was removed after giving up six runs and walking five while throwing 53 pitches in the third inning of a doubleheader opener against the New York Yankees.

The Yankees punished Kevin Gausman with patience. Oswaldo Cabrera drew a walk. So did Ben Rice. And so did Paul Goldschmidt, Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Anthony Volpe.
