Kevin Gausman (95.5%) has a 0.75 ERA and a 1.04 WHIP over his past four starts, spanning 24 innings, but he has only fanned 21 in this stretch.

Gausman struck out eight batters over 5 1/3 scoreless innings for the win against the Nationals on Saturday and, before that, allowed one run on five hits in seven innings in a win over the Dodgers.

Gausman is 2-3 with a 3.78 ERA so far this season.

Minnesota Twins career statistics vs. Kevin Gausman have just 25 hits in 113 at bats with 11 RBIs (.221).  He's only yielded two home runs against this Twins roster over that time.

Simeon Woods Richardson will start for Minnesota.  He is 1-0 with a 1.74 ERA. 

Woods Richardson struck out eight over six scoreless innings in a no-decision Monday against the Mariners.  Before that he pitched 3 2/3 innings while allowing seven hits and two runs in the Twins’ win over the White Sox.

In the last seven days, the Twins are tied for fifth in the league with nine home runs while the Blue Jays are 27th with three home runs hits over that span.

The total comes in at 7.5 while Toronto is listed as the -154 favorite at most sportsbooks.
