<p>From good, to bad, to worst.</p>
<p></p>
<p>It&#8217;s been a tumultuous first three games of the season for the Jays. After opening up strong on opening day with an 8-2 win over the Tampa Bay Rays, they fell 8-2 on Friday and 5-1 yesterday afternoon. It&#8217;s not exactly the start they were hoping for, but hey, there are still 159 games to play this season.</p>
<p>Much ink could be spilled over what went wrong the last two days: the pitching hasn&#8217;t been perfect, the bats have gone a bit cold, and&#8230; well, there&#8217;s been some shaky play in the field. But hey! 159 games to go.</p>
<p>The best news of it all, however, is that Kevin Gausman returns to the mound as the Blue Jays look for the series split. He was dealing with a shoulder ailment that limited him in Spring Training to just one start, coming on March 25th against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Throwing three innings, Gausman struck out <em>seven of 12 batters</em>, while allowing just one earned run. Yeah, he looked good.</p>
<p>The intensity has ramped up and he&#8217;s likely to be on a pitch count throwing just 52 in that game against the Pirates, but the fact he isn&#8217;t missing the first trip through the rotation is huge for the Jays.</p>
