Gausman (5-9) allowed three earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out two across five innings to take the loss Saturday against the Mets.
Gausman allowed only one earned run through five innings but ran into trouble in the sixth inning, allowing four consecutive singles. He generated only five swinging strikes, indicating that he wasn't fooling many batters. However, from a run-prevention standpoint, the start was a success as Gausman didn't allow a home run for the first time in his last seven appearances. He'll look to bounce back in his next start, likely to come Thursday at Washington.
