EDGE Analysis
Fortunately for Gausman, opposing starter Erasmo Ramirez was near-equally rough, and this game ended up going to extra innings. He gave up two more homers in this one, continuing what's been a huge problem with the long ball recently -- Gausman has surrendered seven homers in his last four starts. He's also seen his bat-missing ability dry up over his last two games, having fanned just four in nine innings. He'll have a tough test against the Yankees -- who homered twice off him back on July 22 -- when he and the Orioles head up to New York next week.
