Gonsolin pitched five innings against St. Louis on Wednesday, allowing five runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out six. He did not factor in the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Gonsolin had been remarkably steady coming into the contest, allowing no more than two earned runs over each of his first 16 starts. The right-hander couldn't keep that going Wednesday, as the Cardinals tagged him for five runs over the third and fourth frames. Gonsolin was down 5-0 and staring at his first loss when he departed after the fifth inning, but Los Angeles staged a late comeback to keep his perfect 11-0 record intact. Gonsolin's next appearance will likely be on his home field during Tuesday's All-Star Game.

Gonsolin (11-0) earned the win over the Cubs on Thursday, pitching seven innings and allowing two runs on four hits and no walks while striking out three.
EDGE Analysis
Gonsolin took another step toward an All-Star berth and consideration for the NL Cy Young Award against Chicago, running his record to a perfect 11-0 with his ninth quality start of the campaign. The right-hander's lone mistake was a fifth-inning splitter that Christopher Morel knocked for a two-run homer, but Gonsolin still managed to extend his impressive run of allowing two or fewer earned runs in each of his first 16 starts. He hadn't completed seven frames until his previous outing Friday against San Diego, but he's now hit that mark in two straight appearances. Gonsolin's strikeout numbers (8.1 K/9) aren't overwhelming, and he may be a bit lucky with a .183 BABIP on the campaign, but his standout season probably deserves more attention than its getting. In addition to the perfect 11-0 record, Gonsolin leads all qualified MLB hurlers with a 1.62 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and .157 batting-average against.

Gonsolin (10-0) allowed a run on four hits and no walks while striking out eight over 7.2 innings to earn the win Friday over the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Gonsolin was both dominant and efficient, needing 92 pitches (73 strikes) to get through his longest start of the season. Only a Trent Grisham solo shot blemished his line in this one, which saw Gonsolin become the first National League pitcher to reach 10 wins this year. He's posted an excellent 1.54 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 77:23 K:BB through 81.2 innings in his 15 starts. The right-hander will look to keep up his strong play in a projected home start versus the Rockies next week.

Gonsolin allowed a run on five hits and two walks with five strikeouts in 5.2 innings in a no-decision versus Atlanta on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Gonsolin was in line for a hard-luck loss until the Dodgers' offense woke up in the ninth inning. While he fell short of a quality start for the second outing in a row, he's still yet to give up more than two earned runs in any appearance this season. The right-hander has a 1.58 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 69:23 K:BB across 74 innings in 14 starts. He remains undefeated at 9-0 this year, and he'll look to push his win total into double digits in a home start versus the Padres next week.

Gonsolin (9-0) earned the win Tuesday against the Reds after giving up two runs on three hits with four strikeouts and one walk over five innings.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander threw only 58 of his 87 pitches for strikes but generated 19 swinging strikes, as the only damage against him came on solo homers from Jonathan India and Albert Almora. The five-inning effort breaks a streak of six starts of at least six frames for Gonsolin, though he was able to extend his win streak to five consecutive outings. He has a 1.58 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 64:21 K:BB across 68.1 innings this season.

Gonsolin (8-0) allowed a hit and two walks over 6.1 scoreless innings to earn the win over the Angels on Tuesday. He struck out six.
EDGE Analysis
Gonsolin pitched into the seventh inning, which has been a rarity for him throughout his career. The Angels couldn't get anything going against the right-hander, who has now allowed only three runs in 33 innings at home in 2022. He lowered his ERA to 1.42 with a 0.82 WHIP and 60:20 K:BB across 63.1 innings in 12 starts overall. Gonsolin projects for a favorable road start against the Reds next week.

Gonsolin (7-0) got the win Wednesday after he pitched six innings, allowing one run on three hits and a walk while striking out five versus the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Gonsolin was in full control Wednesday, limiting the White Sox to just one run on a Jake Burger solo homer in the bottom of the fifth inning. He has now rattled off five straight quality starts and has six total on the season. The 28-year-old has earned a win in four consecutive outings and now owns a superb 1.58 ERA and 0.86 WHIP with 54 strikeouts over 57 innings in 11 starts this year.

Gonsolin (6-0) earned the win over the Mets on Thursday, pitching six scoreless innings and allowing two hits and one walk while striking out five.
EDGE Analysis
Gonsolin has been outstanding without being overpowering this season, and he made easy work of one of the league's best offenses Thursday, allowing only three baserunners while fanning five. The right-hander pitched exactly six innings for his fourth straight outing, and he has picked up a win while notching a quality start in three of those contests. Overall, Gonsolin has yet to give up more than two runs in any appearance this season and is tied for the MLB lead with six victories. His 1.59 ERA ranks third in the majors, and he'll look to keep rolling in his next start, which is expected to take place in Chicago against the White Sox next week.

Gonsolin (5-0) earned the win over Arizona on Saturday, pitching six innings and allowing two runs on four hits and no walks while striking out seven batters.
EDGE Analysis
Gonsolin gave up a pair of second-inning runs but nothing else and got just enough help from his offense to keep his record perfect at 5-0. The right-hander struck out exactly seven batters for the third straight game and has tossed exactly six innings in each contest during that span. Gonsolin has yet to allow more than two runs in an outing this season, leading to a sparkling 1.80 ERA over 45 innings. He's already earned a career-best five wins this season, and he'll look to keep rolling in his next start, which is expected to come at home against the Mets on Thursday.

Gonsolin will start Saturday against Arizona, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gonsolin was originally slated to start Friday, but the Dodgers have opted to give him an extra day of rest. The team has not announced Friday's starter, but Ryan Pepiot appears to be a likely candidate.
