New York Yankees vs. Toronto Blue Jays (Game 1): Max Fried vs. Kevin Gausman
Briefly

The New York Yankees are looking to rebound against the Toronto Blue Jays after a rainout and a disappointing game on Friday. Starting pitcher Max Fried has been outstanding with a 1.42 ERA and is coming off a no-hit performance. Opposing him is Kevin Gausman, known for a strong splitter, but whose 3.18 ERA pales in comparison. The Yankees also announced a change in save situations, with Luke Weaver stepping in as closer. Fans are gearing up for an exciting pitching matchup.
The rainout yesterday means the sting of Friday's closer meltdown stuck around a day longer, but it's time to get past that now.
Max Fried is fresh off a no-hit bid against the Rays, and so far this year has been everything the Yankees could have wanted.
Devin Williams is no longer the closer for the time being. Look for Luke Weaver to get the lion's share of the save opportunities.
