Kevin Gausman kept his opponents completely off-kilter in his start tonight in GABP.
The righty dialed up his fastball to 97 mph and mixed it in perfectly with his world-class splitter, in the process yielding just a lone hit in 6.0 scoreless innings pitched. He struck out 8, walked just 2, and never really looked threatened at all during his 94 pitch outing.
Unfortunately, he’s not on the Cincinnati Reds anymore, and instead was inflicting said pain on them instead. That powered the San Francisco Giants to a 4-0 win, and a series victory.
Key Plays
- Mike Tauchman made a jumping catch into the wall in LF in the Bottom of the 4th that robbed Eugenio Suarez of both an extra-base hit and a likely RBI (since Nick Castellanos was on 1B at the time).
