NEW YORK -- Not a week ago, Kevin Gausman stood outside the visiting clubhouse at Yankee Stadium, tears in his eyes. Having just been traded from the organization that drafted, developed and made him a Major Leaguer, Gausman fretted over an uncertain future. A new team, an unfamiliar city, a new swath of opponents all awaited him.
Flash forward to Saturday, when Gausman's first taste of that future unfolded in a solid if unspectacular Braves debut at Citi Field, as he was overshadowed by Zack Wheeler for much of Atlanta's 3-0 loss to the Mets.
