SAN FRANCISCO — A’s Rookie Daniel Gossett was ‘frustrated and embarrassed’ after his last start that saw him get knocked around for a career-high nine hits and vowed to learn from it. He bounced back in a big way.
The A’s have always been high on Gossett, and with good reason. The 2014 second-round pick dominated his way from Single-A to Triple-A last season and continued that trend this season until he pitched his way to a big-league call up in June. Gossett seemed to hit a wall once he got to Oakland. He had displayed flashes of brilliance through nine starts but allowed at least one home run in seven of those and saw his ERA soar to a whopping 5.
