Four San Francisco pitchers combined on an eight-hit shutout as the Giants blanked the Toronto Blue Jays 3-0 on Tuesday night at Rogers Centre.
Opener Ryan Walker survived a nervous first inning and left-hander Alex Wood worked into the seventh for the Giants (45-34), who have won 13 of their last 15 games.
San Francisco scratched out a run in the fifth inning and added some insurance with a two-run double by Thairo Estrada in the ninth. Relievers Tyler Rogers and Camilo Doval, with his 23rd save, finished things off in the opener of the three-game series.
The Blue Jays starter set the early tone by striking out the side in the first inning. Walker put runners on the corners in the bottom half before issuing three strikeouts of his own.
Gausman received a standing ovation from the Rogers Centre crowd of 36,004 after striking out LaMonte Wade Jr. in the fourth inning. It was his 1,500th career strikeout.
