Brewers vs Blue Jays: Starting Lineup - Game Two Preview

Shane Bieber's home debut for the Toronto Blue Jays was solid, even if he didn't get much run support from his team in a 7-2 loss to the MLB-leading Milwaukee Brewers.

The Blue Jays will look to get back on track when veteran righty Kevin Gausman takes the hill versus Brewers starter Quinn Priester. First pitch is at 3:07 PM ET on Sportsnet and TVA Sports.

In his last outing Kevin Gausman (8-10) took the loss against the Marlins, allowing four runs on seven hits and one walk with seven strikeouts over six innings.

Gausman was locked in a pitcher's duel with Eury Perez before giving up a bases-loaded triple in the fifth.

It marked only the second time in seven outings since the All-Star break that the 34-year-old allowed more than two earned runs, a stretch that includes four quality starts and a 3.07 ERA.

Quinn Priester gets the ball for the Brew Crew this afternoon. In his last outing Priester did not factor into the decision in a 4-1 win over the Cubs.

He allowed a run on three hits and five walks while striking out four over 4.1 innings.

While Priester held the Cubs to a lone run, he failed to make it out of the fifth inning after throwing 95 pitches and issuing a season-high five free passes.

The 24-year-old Priester has struggled of late, allowing nine runs over 14 innings in his last three starts after posting a 2.47 ERA in his previous 16 outings (91 innings).

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has 30 doubles and 21 home runs for the Blue Jays. Bo Bichette is 20 for 43 with five doubles over the last 11 games.

William Contreras has 16 home runs, 75 walks and 66 RBIs while hitting .260 for the Brewers. Brice Turang is 14 for 39 with a double, a triple, two home runs and seven RBIs over the last 10 games.
