Gausman (1-6) pitched five innings, allowing four runs, eight hits and one walk while striking out six Wednesday against the Dodgers. He did not factor in the decision.
Although he's not having a great year, Gausman has given owners more than five innings in a majority of his starts this season. However, manager Buck Showalter had seen enough after 95 pitches to hook the struggling 25-year-old after he gave up two fifth-inning runs. Through 15 starts in 2016, Gausman sports an unsightly 4.15 ERA with just one victory to show for his efforts.
