Takes sixth loss Gausman (14-6) allowed four earned runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out seven across five innings to take the loss Thursday against the Padres.
Impact Gausman surrendered at least one run in three different innings, leading to the disappointing outing. As a result, he was charged with his first loss since July 30. In his last 10 starts, Gausman has a 4.08 ERA across 53 innings, though he's still provided value by racking up 68 strikeouts and earning five wins in that span. On the season, Gausman has maintained a 2.78 ERA with a 208:49 K:BB across 175 frames.

Picks up quality start Gausman (14-5) allowed three runs on eight hits and no walks with nine strikeouts through six innings, picking up the win in Saturday's 15-4 victory over the Cubs.
Impact Gausman was rock solid yet again Saturday, as he yielded three runs in his first three innings but settled in over the next three to pick up the quality start. While the eight hits might strike the eye as a sizable number, half of them didn't leave the infield. The right-hander has now allowed three or fewer earned runs in nine straight starts and has won his last five decisions. He figures to pitch next Thursday against the Padres.

Logs another quality start Gausman (13-5) picked up a win after tossing seven innings of three-run ball while giving up five hits, walking one and striking out nine against the Rockies on Monday.
Impact The 30-year-old was effective in this one while limiting the Rockies to only three runs at the challenging venue of Coors Field. Ryan McMahon and Garrett Hampson each hit solo home runs off the veteran and Charlie Blackmon tripled in the other run charged to Gausman in the start. Gausman has now rattled off eight consecutive starts where he has surrendered three or less runs, picking up four wins along the way. He is expected to start next on Saturday in Chicago against the Cubs.

Fans seven across five frames Gausman didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against the Brewers after tossing five innings of two-run ball, allowing four hits and a walk while fanning seven.
Impact Gausman gave up a two-run single to Lorenzo Cain in the second inning, but he was excellent the rest of the way. While he finished three outs away from posting another quality start, it's worth noting that Gausman has given up three or fewer runs in each of his last seven appearances while pitching at least five frames in five of those contests. He owns a career-best 2.52 ERA and 1.01 WHIP through 157 innings on the season.
