Gausman (8-3) took the loss Monday versus the Cardinals after allowing two runs on three hits with eight strikeouts and two walks over seven innings.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander didn't surrender a hit until the seventh inning, but two singles and then a triple from Matt Carpenter staked St. Louis a two-run lead. It's the second straight loss for Gausman and the third loss in his past five starts, though he still has a 2.90 ERA during that stretch. The right-hander will attempt to get back in the win column this weekend against the Nationals in his final start before the All-Star break.

Gausman (8-2) allowed three runs on three hits and five walks with four strikeouts across five innings, taking the loss versus the Dodgers on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The five walks were a season high for the right-hander, who also allowed more than two runs for just the second time all year. Gausman's four strikeouts matched a season low. The 30-year-old has had very few missteps in 2021 with a 1.68 ERA, 0.81 WHIP, 116:25 K:BB and just eight home runs allowed across 101.2 innings. He'll look to bounce back from this shaky outing next week versus St. Louis.

Gausman allowed one earned run on four hits and one walk while striking out nine across seven innings Wednesday against the Angels. He did not factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Gausman delivered another gem, with the only run against him coming on a solo home run by Luis Rengifo in the fifth inning. He otherwise dominated the Angels, racking up 19 swinging strikes on 100 total pitches. The only downside to the outing was that Gausman wasn't rewarded with a win, though that was through no fault of his own. Gausman has now allowed two earned runs or less in 14 of his 15 starts this season, which has translated to a 1.49 ERA with a 112 strikeouts across 96.2 innings.

Gausman (8-1) allowed two earned runs on four hits and one walk while striking out six across eight innings to earn the win Thursday against the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Gausman worked very efficiently and turned in his third start of the season that went at least eight innings. He continued to dominate his opponents, as he's now allowed only four earned runs across his last 36 innings of work. In addition to his eight wins, Gausman has also maintained a 1.51 ERA with a 103:19 K:BB across 89.2 frames on the campaign.

Gausman (7-1) took the loss Saturday against the Nationals, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks across four innings. He fanned four.

EDGE Analysis

Kyle Schwarber welcomed Gausman with a leadoff homer in the bottom of the first inning and the right-hander gave up another run on a Josh Harrison double in the fourth. With the Giants in search of offense in the seven-inning game, Gausman was pinch hit for in the top of the fifth, ending his day after just 64 pitches. Despite taking the loss, Gausman still boasts a sparkling 1.43 ERA and 0.78 WHIP to go along with an outstanding 97:18 K:BB through 81.2 innings. He should be relatively fresh when he takes the mound Thursday against Arizona.

Gausman had his start against the Nationals pushed from Friday to Saturday following the postponement of Thursday's game, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

The game will be made up via a doubleheader Saturday, and Gausman will start one of those contests. Thursday's original starter, Anthony DeSclafani, will take the mound Friday for the Giants.

Gausman (7-0) earned the win over the Cubs on Saturday, pitching seven innings and allowing two unearned runs on two hits and no walks while striking out 10.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander served up a two-run homer to Patrick Wisdom in the second inning, though both runs were unearned due to an inning-opening error by shortstop Brandon Crawford. Gausman was nearly untouchable thereafter, allowing only one hit additional hit (a single) and retiring the final 15 batters he faced. The veteran has transformed himself into one of the league's elite starters this season, posting a perfect 7-0 record and ranking third in MLB with a 1.27 ERA and 0.76 WHIP. Gausman is also tied for seventh in the league with 93 strikeouts over 77.2 innings. His next start is tentatively scheduled for Friday at Washington.

The Giants list Gausman (hip) as their probable starter for Saturday's game against the Cubs, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gausman was cleared of a strain or any structural damage to his left hip after undergoing an MRI on Monday, so he doesn't look like he'll be forced to miss a turn through the rotation after he was removed early during his most recent outing over the weekend versus the Dodgers. The 30-year-old has been the unquestioned staff ace for a surprisingly competitive Giants team in 2021, logging a 1.40 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 83:16 K:BB in 70.2 innings through his first 11 starts.

Gausman said Monday that an MRI on his sore left hip came back clean, leaving him optimistic he remains on track to make a start during this weekend's series with the Cubs in Chicago, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The MRI was likely performed as a precaution, as Gausman previously said after his start Sunday against the Dodgers that he didn't expect to miss time because of the injury. Gausman will likely throw a between-starts bullpen session Tuesday or Wednesday before the Giants render a formal verdict on his status for the weekend.

Gausman (hip) expects to make his next start, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gausman will undergo an MRI to determine the severity of his injury, but the issue doesn't appear to be a significant concern. The right-hander has been dealing with his hip issue for several weeks, but he was removed from Sunday's start as a precautionary measure at the end of the sixth inning after he felt it flare up while fielding a grounder. Assuming he's cleared to pitch, Gausman tentatively lines up to make his next start at home against the Cubs on Saturday.
