Gausman tosses 2-hitter for 4th career complete game as Blue Jays blank Astros 6-0

TORONTO (AP) — Kevin Gausman pitched a two-hitter for his fourth career complete game, Davis Schneider homered and drove in two runs, and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the struggling Houston Astros 6-0 on Thursday.

Gausman (10-10) threw the first complete game in the major leagues since Baltimore’s Trevor Rogers on Aug. 1. It was the 27th complete game this season, one shy of last year’s total.
