Gausman (9-11) earned the win against the Brewers on Thursday, allowing one run on five hits and one walk in seven innings. He struck out nine.
The right-hander outdueled Logan Henderson on Thursday, authoring one of his finest efforts as a member of the Cubs. Gausman registered his most strikeouts in a Chicago uniform, giving up one or no runs for the second time in six starts with his new club. He'll try to build more momentum his next time out in a road rematch with Milwaukee, holding a 4.37 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 38:8 K:BB in 35 innings since being traded from Toronto.
