Gausman (5-10) pitched six shutout innings in Tuesday's win over the Nationals, allowing just six hits with two walks and two strikeouts.
Gausman's lackluster strikeout numbers lagged behind his usual 8.86 K/9 rate, but this was otherwise as good a performance as could be reasonably expected after the right-hander had allowed 16 runs in just 26.2 innings over his previous five starts. He'll now carry a two-game winning streak into Saturday's start at Yankee Stadium.
