Tony Gonsolin Knocked Around by Angels in No-Decision
Tony Gonsolin allowed four hits and four earned runs over four innings of work in his team's 6-4 loss to the Los Angeles Angels. He struck out three and walked five, but did not factor into the decision. Per MLB.com's Sonja Chen, Gonsolin picked dead skin off of his thumb after his pregame bullpen session but "got a little carried away and took some good skin with it." The fidgeting led to bleeding, which could explain why he matched his career high in free passes. Otherwise, the Halos got to him early in this one, with a Zach Neto dinger to lead off the game, and Taylor Ward lifting a two-run bomb three batters later. Gonsolin mostly settled down after that, but 97 pitches through four frames were enough to give him the hook. He'll get a chance to rebound in a tough road matchup against the New York Mets in his next start later this week. That is, as long as he's completely past this thumb issue.
