From Rotoworld: Gausman allowed four runs on eight hits over 5 1/3 innings in Wednesday’s loss to the Angels. Gausman had been on a roll over his last four starts (two runs in 27 2/3 innings) but that was slowed just a little on Wednesday. The hard-throwing right-hander surrendered solo runs in the third and fourth innings before C.J. Cron finished off the scoring on his line via a two-run home run in the sixth inning. Despite his recent strong run of outings, Gausman still holds a 5.21 ERA and 1.63 WHIP for the season as a whole. A road showdown with the Mariners shows next on his schedule.
Gallardo allowed three runs on six hits over 4 1/3 innings in Wednesday’s win over the A’s. Gallardo struck out three and walked two on the afternoon. Two of the three runs on his line came home via solo home runs, with Matt Joyce and Khris Davis socking dingers in the first and third innings, respectively. Up next on the docket, a home start against the Orioles. Gallardo will carry a bloated 5.38 ERA and 1.48 WHIP (22 appearances, 18 starts) into that contest.
