Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Kevin Gausman leaves Saturday’s 5–1 win with a notable moment from the Rogers Centre crowd, receiving a standing ovation after exiting in the fifth inning, according to reports. The Athletic says Gausman appears emotional and reflects that he is “just tried to soak it in” as fans show their support during the transition out of his start. The Winnipeg Free Press similarly describes the ovation from supporters and frames the outing as possibly his final start for the club. In both accounts, the key point is that Gausman is honored by the home crowd immediately after he stops pitching, following Toronto’s win over the opposing team. After leaving the game in the fifth inning, Gausman does not pitch further and the team proceeds with the rest of the contest, which ends 5–1. The reports do not provide additional confirmation of whether the start is definitively his last, but both present it as a possibility tied to the circumstances and fan reaction.
