Without much in the way of swing-and-miss stuff tonight, Wesneski gave up eight hits despite allowing only three hard-hit balls (two of which were outs). He finished with just one strikeout. The loss leaves him 1-2 with a 3.86 ERA in advance of a home start against the Tigers.

This was Gusto’s best start of the season, falling just one out short of a quality start. Nevertheless, his fastball starred forcing seven swings-and-misses at the top of the zone and was too much for the Blue Jays to handle. That pitch paired with his sweeper was enough to stifle right-handed batters. Against lefties, his curveball and cutter were just enough to get by while his changeup was a problem pitch. Of the nine he threw, none were in the strike zone and just one was chased. Still, his fastball is good enough to keep him relevant while he gets more chances in the Astros’ rotation. He’s scheduled to face the Tigers next time around.

The Blue Jays made Hader sweat by getting the tying run to second base with just one out in the ninth. Hader then slammed the door shut though by retiring Alejandro Kirk and Myles Straw to complete the save. While many other elite closers have stumbled out of the gate, Hader has been lights out with no blown saves and a 0.69 ERA.

Noel entered the day with a .167/.200/.190 line in 45 plate appearances, which is why he’s only been playing a lefties. The Guardians could give him time over the struggling Carlos Santana if they want to get him going, but we’re not optimistic it will happen. The club isn’t slated to face any lefties for at least a week, so it could be right back to the bench for Noel.

Kelenic has not been successful whatsoever to begin the 2025 campaign, and Atlanta will go with Eli White in the lineup even with right-hander Merrill Kelly on the bump for Arizona. Kelenic has shown glimpses of being a competent outfielder, but they have been too few and far between. Kinda sad.

Abreu was left standing in the on-deck circle in the ninth inning when Trevor Story – with the tying run at third base to end the contest. The -year-old outfielder took Guardians starter Ben Lively deep in the opening frame for his fifth round-tripper of the season. It wound up being his lone hit in three at-bats, although he did draw a walk in the contest. He’s an extremely underrated fantasy contributor at this stage of his career considering his immense power upside.
