AUSTIN GOMBER NEWS

Tosses three scoreless innings Gomber gave up three hits and two walks while striking out five over three scoreless innings in Wednesday's spring win over the Padres. He didn't factor into the decision.

Impact Gomber continued to perform at a high level during his third spring start Wednesday. He gave up a pair of walks to load the bases with two outs in the third inning, but he struck out Tommy Pham swinging to end the inning. The southpaw recorded a strikeout with each of his four pitches against San Diego, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports. Gomber is the clear favorite to win a back-end rotation role with the Rockies to begin the year after allowing five hits and two walks while striking out eight over seven innings during his first three Cactus League starts.

Sharp once again Gomber allowed one hit and no walks while striking out two over two scoreless innings in Friday's spring loss to the Brewers. He didn't factor into the decision.

Impact Gomber mainly threw fastballs during Sunday's Cactus League opener, but he focused more on his off-speed pitches against Milwaukee on Friday. Even though he changed his approach Friday, the southpaw had similar success and only allowed one baserunner via a one-out single in the first inning. Gomber said that he wants to combine his fastball and off-speed command in future spring outings while building up his arm strength and pitch count. The 27-year-old has limited major-league experience, but he's impressed so far during spring training while competing for a back-end rotation spot with his new club.
