Posts quality start Tuesday Gomber did not factor into the decision in Tuesday's loss to the Diamondbacks, allowing two runs on six hits and a walk while striking out four over six innings.
Impact Both runs against Gomber came in the third inning after he gave up a pair of singles and a double sandwiched around two groundouts. Gomber had given up a home run in each of his last seven starts but was able to keep the ball in the park Tuesday night and notched just his second quality start over his last six outings. The 30-year-old lefty now owns a 4.82 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 89:30 K:BB in 125 innings and lines up to face the Nationals on the road next week.

Rough first inning leads to loss Gomber (3-8) was saddled with the loss Thursday, allowing five runs on six hits and one walk over three innings. He struck out one.
Impact Gomber allowed five extra-base hits in the first inning, with a two-run blast by Pete Alonso representing the biggest blow of the four-run inning. A second dinger by Alonso to lead off the third was the final blow against Gomber, who was removed following the third frame. Thursday's outing marked the first time in 10 home starts this season that Gomber has allowed as many as five earned runs. While his next start is slated to take place away from Coors Field, Gomber's task won't be any easier as he's slated to face the red-hot Diamondbacks next week in Phoenix.

Picks up third win Gomber (3-7) allowed two runs on five hits and a walk while striking out six over seven innings to earn the win Friday over the Padres.
Impact Gomber gave up solo home runs to Manny Machado and Donovan Solano, but he was able to limit the damage there. This was Gomber's third outing of at least seven innings this year, and it snapped a three-start winless skid. He's at a 4.66 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 84:28 K:BB through 116 innings over 21 starts this season. While homers remain an issue -- he's allowed 22 of them this year -- Gomber is still having his strongest campaign since 2021. His next start is projected to be at home versus the Mets.

Early exit Sunday Gomber (2-7) allowed three runs on six hits and a walk while striking out six over 3.2 innings to take the loss Sunday versus the Giants.
Impact Gomber needed 85 pitches (51 strikes) to get his 11 outs. The Giants put up all three runs on his line over the first two innings, and the Rockies were unable to catch up. Over five appearances in July, Gomber allowed 16 runs across 27.1 innings, though he had a respectable 22:3 K:BB in that span. The southpaw is now at a 4.79 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 78:27 K:BB through 109 innings over 20 starts. Gomber's playing on a one-year contract this season, so it's possible the 30-year-old gets traded by Tuesday's deadline.

Yields four runs Gomber allowed four runs on six hits and a walk over 5.2 innings in a no-decision Monday. He struck out five during the extra-innings win.
Impact Gomber worked through four scoreless frames before unraveling in the fifth inning. The Red Sox piled on four runs that inning, highlighted by Jamie Westbrook's three-run shot. Gomber has allowed at least four runs in seven of his last eight starts, resulting in an ugly 7.01 ERA during that span. In 11 outings before that stretch, he owned a 3.06 ERA, but the recent struggles have pushed that up to 4.70 for the year. Gomber's next outing is lined up to be in San Francisco.

Saddled with sixth loss Gomber (2-6) took the loss Thursday, allowing four runs on seven hits and one walk over five innings against the Reds. He struck out five.
Impact Each of the four runs Gomber allowed came via the long ball, with Tyler Stephenson tagging him for a three-run dinger in the third, then Santiago Espinal following up with a solo blast in the fourth. It was the fifth time in 10 road starts that Gomber has allowed at least four earned runs in a start. Surprisingly, Gomber has fared much worse on the road despite playing his home games at Coors Field, posting a 5.61 ERA and 1.43 WHIP over 51.1 innings away from home as opposed to marks of 3.54 and 1.18 over 48.1 frames in the high altitude.

Strong performance in second win Gomber (2-5) picked up the win over the Royals on Saturday, allowing one run on six hits over seven innings while striking out three.
Impact Gomber managed to keep Kansas City's offense at bay throughout the contest, with the exception of a solo home run that he surrendered to Vinnie Pasquantino in the top of the sixth. The lefty allowed just two extra-base hits over his seven innings of work and didn't walk a batter for the third consecutive start. He's now gone at least five innings in four straight outings, though he's also given up six or more hits in three straight. Saturday actually marked the first time since May 22 that Gomber didn't surrender multiple runs (span of six starts).

Surrenders four runs Gomber did not factor into the decision in Monday's 8-7 win over Milwaukee, allowing four runs on nine hits and no walks over six innings. He struck out three.
Impact The Colorado southpaw faced only 10 batters over three scoreless innings to open this outing before falling apart in a five-hit, three-run fourth. Gomber has now allowed four or more runs in five consecutive starts, churning out an unpleasant 8.65 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 16:4 K:BB across 26 innings. Overall, the 30-year-old sports a 4.72 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 59:24 K:BB in 87.2 innings. He is tentatively scheduled to make his next start against the Royals at home.

Hit hard early Gomber (1-5) took the loss Tuesday against Houston, allowing five runs on eight hits and no walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out four.
Impact All five runs against Gomber came in the first inning, when he allowed four consecutive singles to open the frame as part of a six-hit inning that included a pair of stolen bases. However, the 30-year-old settled in after the nightmare first frame, allowing just two baserunners afterward before a Jake Meyers double prompted Colorado to remove Gomber after 89 pitches. Gomber has endured a rough June, yielding at least three runs in all five starts and completing only six innings once. He owns a 9.39 ERA with 15 strikeouts over 23.0 innings during the month. He's tentatively scheduled for a home start against Milwaukee early next week.
