Kevin Gausman Throws Complete Game Shutout
6 months agoToronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Kevin Gausman threw a complete game shutout against the Oakland Athletics on Saturday. He allowed five hits, one free pass, and struck out a season-high ten batters. This was an excellent outing for Gausman, who was riding a poor 5.60 ERA and 1.39 WHIP through his previous five starts. While the 33-year-old has yet to live up to his high draft capital, this is an encouraging sign for the ace, as he could be turning things around. However, he has seen his K rate plummet from an excellent 31.1% last summer to a poor 22.7% this season and needs to continue to raise this number to be a top pitching option for the remainder of the summer. The LSU product is lined up to face the Cleveland Guardians next week and will hope to keep this momentum rolling.
