Orioles pitcher Kevin Gausman was hit hard in a loss to the A's in Oakland, dropping to 4-3 on the year. The right-hander was charged with five runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out six over four innings of a 10-2 defeat.

Gausman owns a 4.04 ERA and a 1.39 WHIP over his first eight starts (42 1/3 innings). He has allowed five earned runs in two of his last four outings. He'll look to pick up the pieces Friday at Seattle.
