Gausman has had 2 bad starts this season……at the Astro’s and at the Red Sox…….every other start……3 runs or below. This is his 4th start if 6 innings or longer with no runs……..he’s good.
Before today……Freddy’s era/ops by inning
first 4.50/ 514
2nd 4.50/853
3rd 3.86/1019
4th 7.00/906
5th 2.00/672
6th 6.43/514
He doesn’t need an opener…….he needs to pitch better….throughout the game.
