EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old right-hander finallly got into the win column with one of his best performances of the season. Outside of eight innings of three-hit, shutout ball versus the Yankees on May 5, Gausman hadn't been sharper this season than Saturday. He threw 75 of 113 pitches for strikes, notched first-pitch strikes on 15 of 27 batters and induced 12 swinging strikes overall. The 25-year-old will look to keep the positive momentum going next Friday versus the Mariners.
