Orioles pitcher Kevin Gausman tossed six shutout innings Wednesday as Baltimore handled the Rays 2-0. Gausman (3-1) struck out five, walked one and scattered five hits as his ERA plunged to 2.74.
The Rays loaded the bases with no outs in the first, but Gausman struck out Ben Zobrist and James Loney to escape unscathed. Over his last three starts covering 19 innings, Gausman has allowed 14 hits and two earned runs.
He'll take on the White Sox next Wednesday.
