To follow Dustin May Gonsolin is expected to enter Sunday's Game 7 against Atlanta after starter Dustin May, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN reports.
Impact May pitched in Friday's game and is thus expected to be used as an opener rather than as a traditional starter in Game 7 of the NLCS. Gonsolin has not pitched since Tuesday's Game 2 loss, so he would be pitching on normal rest.

Charged with Game 2 loss Gonsolin allowed five runs on three hits and three walks while striking out seven over 4.1 innings Tuesday as he was charged with the loss in Game 2 of the NLCS against Atlanta.
Impact Gonsolin started Game 2 on short notice and held Atlanta's potent offense in check over the first three innings. However, he faltered over the fourth and fifth innings prior to his removal. The right-hander was forced to settle for the loss in his first postseason appearance, but he had a relatively high strikeout rate during his start. It's unclear whether Gonsolin could start later in the postseason.

Gives up four runs in win Gonsolin (2-2) earned the win Saturday against the Angels. He allowed four runs on seven hits while fanning six across six innings.
Impact Gonsolin gave up a season-worst four runs in his final start of the regular season, but he still earned the win as the offense backed him up. Gonsolin ends the regular season with a 2.31 ERA and a 0.84 WHIP in nine appearances (eight starts), besting what he did during the 2019 season when he posted a 2.93 ERA and a 1.02 WHIP across 11 appearances (six starts).
