" been a staple in this lineup, in this stadium, on this field," Gausman said."We're going to miss him for sure.Jansen did not play on Saturday. “I thought that he just executed at an extremely high level, and when his split is carrying the zone you see the Cy Young Award candidate coming out," Toronto manager John Schneider said.Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who had three of his team’s 15 hits and scored three times, reached base on a two-out infield hit in the first inning. Justin Turner followed with a single to left to set the stage for Varsho's 12th.
